Isis plans to mint its own currency

Thanks everyone for making this a good thread.

What's your news source if you don't mind my asking.

That's a difficult question to answer. Like anyone connected to the net there are thousands of sources. Of course you know that. If you could pick one bit you want a source for I will certainly try to remember.

About two hours ago the power went off here and it took me half an hour to reset the stuff, hence the delay.

ISIS coming out of the closet, one Jihadi at a time..

Somebody ought to invade, that sure didn't work for Iraq and Libya in the recent past.

If ISIS manages to carve out some territory and calms down just a little, I figure most of the countries in the region will accept it. I also figure it'll go off the gold standard pretty quick.

The multi-metal standard is a double-edged sword.
It makes economic sense owing to its relative long-term stability. It makes no political sense though cause governments have to be more honest by actually raiding taxes rather than just print.
