Thanks, 4fig. At my last count, this now brings us to 7 islamic mints cranking out the gold dinar.
When placing this number of mints into context, please remember, there is
--1 mint in canada cranking out the Maple Leaf gold coins
---1 mint in the USA cranking out the Eagle gold coins
----1 mint in U.K. cranking out the gold sovereign series
-----1 mint in China cranking out the Panda coins
------1 mint in Australia cranking out the gold 'roo
-------1 mint in Austria cranking out the philharmonic 'coins
--------1 mint in Israel cranking out their commemorative only gold coins series
---------1 mint in Russia cranking out their gold rubles
------------------etc., i.e., the above is NOT an exhaustive gold coin mint list by a long shot!
and islamists now have 7 mints cranking out or soon to be cranking out gold dinars????
WHEW!!!!
These islamists are SERIOUS about putting gold dinars out there into circulation for commoners to use as tithe, in briday dowery, AND for int'l debt settlement. If students of coinage history recall, we-- USA govt-- used to mint and then ship & store in foreign vaults our $20 St Gaudens and $20 Lib gold coins at the turn of the previous century, in order to settle balance of payments, or "current accounts' deficits."
This is such a common piece of knowledge, that said "unopened bags" are the source of much Home Shopping Channel, QVC, etc., Saint's and Lib's sales in past and current times. Many bags are STILL sitting in musty
basement vaults, in their mint sewn bags, acting as collateral for this and that--real or imagined--US indebtedness.
Of course...islamists construct 20% of the world's population...so I suspect that islamist mints will not be stopping at the magic number "7" but rather a "holier and higher" number of mints before all is said and done.
Thanks again!
