“Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) has begun minting its own ‘Islamic dinar’ coins, Syrian activists claimed on Tuesday night. Pictures posted on social media showed a series of gold sovereigns bearing Isil inscriptions, and with a reported value of one gold dinar being with $139 (£89). Isil announced last November that it would start producing their own currency in areas under its control, in an effort to ’emancipate itself from the satanic global economic system’. The currency, based on the original dinar coins used during the Caliphate of Uthman in 634 CE, was set to include seven minted coins: two gold, three silver and two copper.”
