I normally don't cut and paste but this story is great.
Guess what, we agree with the ISIS here! This move may be the greatest threat yet to western power.
Maybe we should join up (kidding of course). I would like to have some of these coins though.

the only trouble with those coins is they only have tails. ISIS cuts off the heads.

I'm sure you will recognize some of the famous Muslim women who will appear on the coins.

You are all terrorist scum for having intrinsic value metal coins and not keeping all your wealth in sacred dollars. You are either with the Federal Reserve or you are with the terrorists! Send all your coins to me and free yourself of the shame and fear of the government coming for you. I'll even pay for shipping.

My first thought when I heard about this was that by challenging the supremacy of the US dollar by issuing their own currency, ISIS had just made the move that would have them destroyed by TPTB. Their exploits up until now were tolerated or even condoned by the US government and the media and likely embellished extensively too. What a tool they have been to crank up support for the war machine in Washington. Election season gave so many power hungry evil bastards something to point to justify their quest for more power over all of us in the name of protecting us from evil. But did that evil ISIS just make the wrong move by threatening the sacred US dollar? Maybe yes but I now suspect this will be played up by TPTB to portray those who advocate a gold backed currency with terrorism.

Yes, very much so. Like George Carlin once said, when we Americans don't like something we declare war on it...War on poverty, war on drugs, war on terrorism.
War on metals? War on Real Money? Anyone...anyone..?

I subscribe to the Ball, Corning or Anchor Hocking philosophy. Super heat sand and make it into glass! Turn their sandbox into a glass parking lot! In 50-100 years (when the radiation diminishes) someone can go over with metal detectors and gather up those silver & gold coins!

Anyone heard of anyone actually being able to obtain ANY of these? Or ANY being offered. Perhaps in Dubai? We'll see. ~sigh~

They are going to make the coins out of base metals and execute anyone who dislikes the new coins. Watch.

Certainly wouldnt be surprising. But then we are actually the minority and considered a bit silly in most mainstream circles already. Would be pretty easy to ignore us, we arent changing much in the scheme of things I expect. Im not sure we are making waves enough there is a reason to make us look any worse then already happens.
" Their exploits up until now were tolerated or even condoned by the US government and the media and likely embellished extensively too. "
Dont agree on the last point. The most alarming things Ive seen from them were basically ignored by most of the media and glossed over in our in the parts that mentioned them, both left and right. There is a reason it seems why other western powers that ignored the rest of our wars in the ME are either getting involved or atleast changing their rhetoric.

Wish they'd hurry up and get some minted up.
