ISIS Will Create its Own Currency With Precious Metals
2014-11-15
Garth: follow the formatting rules please. I fixed this one for you. You know how to do this. AoS.
[CNN] ISIS is planning to mint its own currency in gold, silver and copper, the group said Thursday.

Its aim is to stay away from the "tyrant's financial system," ISIS said in a statement. It said it would issue another statement to explain the new currency's exchange rate, and where it can be found.
motto: In God's Name We Behead
The currency will include seven coins: two gold, three silver and two copper.

The move is "purely dedicated to God" and will remove Muslims from the "global economic system that is based on satanic usury," ISIS said.

The terror group, which calls itself the Islamic State, has seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria.

#5  Lol to all the above.

I see a collectors item.

Also get out of the way of decline of the petro-dollar kooks.

I love my FIAT money
I hold it very close
And if you dare to toy with it
I'll see you turned to toast.

#4  And here I though Islam had a rule against graven images...
I guess pictures of camels and goats. Like the barter system, but with coins.

Obamacare accomplishes much the same thing. The process simply takes a bit longer.

#1  Give 'em a little time. They'll soon enough debase the metal purities.

Gotta' be careful about the minted images, however.
