ISIS to issue their own currency

These guys are fricking delusional.

Problem is, for every hundred that get wiped out,
seems like there are 500 more to take their place.

They have paraded their own flag, formed courts and ministries, issued passports and even license plates. Now, the leaders of the Islamic State, the violent jihadist group that has seized parts of Syria and Iraq, have created their own currency, part of a grandiose plan to restore the caliphate era that dominated the Middle East more than 1,300 years ago.

Have you ever noticed that those who do not have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of always seem to know how to handle the money of those who do.

If their currency was backed by gold and silver and easily converted it would be the best currency in the region within a few hours.

It might still be the best in the region - they shoot & kill people for all kinds of reasons. They'll use force the people they conquer to use their currency, too.
