The jihadist group is understood to be planning to introduce independent currency in areas which are under its control though its not yet confirm.
This is believed to be a part of the IS’s efforts to gain authority and consolidate in the domain.
Militants would like to bring back the original dinar, which were first introduced during the Caliphate of Osman (RA) in the hijri 634.
The original dinar is of weight 4.3 gm of gold, and dirham, a silver coin whose weight was equivalent to 3 gm of silver. The coins were in round shape and on the one side of face stamped with date of manufacturing and ruler of the country, and other side with Islamic message.
Still many countries uses dinar as a currency but the coin material is not as in the same form as the original one.
