ISIS Plans to issue Gold, Silver and Copper Coins - any takers here ?

FullStrike

This terror state doesn't seem to be a real nation. Coinage issued by them would seem to fit in with Nazi Coinage
or Bitcoin( meaning strange / taboo/ prohibited/slightly evil ). Anyone have any interest?

Maybe the FBI or CIA will be watching . Might be a good idea to stay away.

CuKevin

What's evil about Bitcoin?

LindeDad

Aiding & Abetting are still Treason under the rules of war.

Bochiman

Are they making a US COIN now? Hmmmm, no? Not interested.

Greeniejr

I would agree with Linde. I think if you purchase them in the coming years you can be seen as supporting terrorism which is not a good thing. I don't think the comparison to Nazi coinage is good on a few levels. First no matter how evil they were, the Nazi regime was a legitimate government producing coinage for a civilian population. Second, a lot of the coins that exist today were either held by civilians or taken by American military personnel. Lastly buying or selling Nazi coins now is not supporting the Nazis of old. At this point it is holding a preserving a piece of one of the darkest chapters in human history. Maybe in 50 years Isis coins will be collectible without supporting terrorism.

My memory might be a bit off but wasn't bitcoin associated with drug dealing and murder for hire. Or was that something else
- like the US Dollar?

Yes you are thinking of the US dollar

The main terrorist group behind most of the beheadings and whatnot is firmly in the dollar camp

I mean these guys of course

How exactly does one differentiate between a legitimate government and an non-legitimate occupying government?

ms70

Eh, bad idea with good intentions. Never mind.

pitboss

Why would anyone want to own something that is going to fund those idiots that are murdering people.

Anyone buying a coin they make should be beheaded like they are doing to our people.

DHeath

I trust our government will engage in counterfeiting and debasement of anything they circulate. I'd say it is an opportunity for our side to tax them for the cost of the intervention.

A safe bet seeing as how our government has repeatedly debased our own money

and no...i would not hold their coins.

Bullsitter

Not NO, but HELL NO......

BillJones

I will want one of these ISIS coins when pigs fly, hell freezes over and the big bears stop defecating in the woods. One rule to live by is don't feed evil.

ricko

Not for me.... but undoubtedly some will go after them...Cheers, RickO

Perhaps a special HACK sticker can be made.

savoyspecial

No, I think in a hobby such as ours we all have lines we don't cross......For example: I like counterstamps.....Many who know me know that I have a warped sense of humor and tend to like crass, irreverent, and sometimes controversial counterstamps.....HOWEVER, a few years ago I was made aware of a pedophile group producing counterstamped coins and I have no desire to add something vile like that to my collection

same goes here...

Do you own any coin books authored by Walter Breen who was a twice convicted pedophile?

savoyspecial

answering honestly: yes, a few

savoyspecial

I don't think my purchase of the books helped to fund him personally, being posthumous and all....

savoyspecial

....and the fact that the books aren't on the subject of 'little boys'

crispy

I would never own an ISIS coin.

Pedophiles are even worse. They prey exclusively on the weak and vulnerable. Convicted pedophiles should be castrated and then beheaded in front of other convicted pedophiles waiting the same sentence. They should be televised. I'm sorry but I just have so much hatred and disdain for these disgusting predators. There is no place in society for them.

Back to the subject of ISIS coinage, to purchase or own even one is to support them whether you think so or not.

They have already declared it on us.

Never fear, PB, those are the cats who's religion cannot survive an image of their Mohammed being created.

I'll pass.

No thank you for the ISIS coins (should this be in the foreign coin forum, hum), Bit coins are becoming more and more acceptable and some articles have said that PayPal will be using them in the future. Be careful how we Also remember that all express our hatred for any subject as I would hate to see any member booted. Also remember that many Americans who are convicted of crimes in the U.S. are actually innocent but get railroaded. My wife had to do a paper on law, ethics and some other stuff and some of her research showed that 25% of people in jail or prison in my state are innocent and that is crazy. Don't get me started on the crazy stuff the Monsanto company did! As for ISIS we have engaged them in military assaults so if we are not at war with them then we are being some bad people....

Two peanuts are walking down the street one was a salted !!!! lollolollollololololololololololo

relicsncoins

The U.S. should sell them some gold through a front organization that is traced with a rare element. They can then eventually trace the coins back to potential targets.

Not trying to go too off topic here, but mainstream media is responsible for the idea that digital currency is bad even though it has so many upsides for consumers and merchants. It's very similar to how Tesla is the most dangerous car in the world according to the media due to a few fires that were very well controlled. Compare to gasoline engine fires per day and the truth is obvious.

Also, it is estimated that a significantly larger percentage of physical fiat currency is involved with illegal activities than any digital currency.

Sorry for so much off topic stuff for this forum, the sensationalized media just annoys me.

If i told you what I really thought of these....
I'd have a contract out on my life.

Some things are better left unsaid.

It's pretty much a given that the Chinese will have the counterfeiting angle covered. Plenty of titanium w/ gold plating.
Come to think of it that's probably where ISIS go to have their Coins minted. Gold plated titanium would reap them the most
profit.

ambro51

So heads and tails would be on two separate coins? (humble and grovelling apologies for that tasteless joke )

IndianHeadMan

I plan on buying Chinese fakes of the ISIS coinage.

Their ransom of those they capture is their weight in gold. True blood money.

Absolutely NOT! Would never even give it a second of thought.

Pretty close, right behind, is Bitcoin. Money that can't be traced, I want no part with of being involved in any way.

They are doing the will of ALLAH. They are killing their own brothers.

Bitcoin is psuedonymous, not anonymous. Just ask all the dark markets that got shut down and had their Bitcoin seized. The entire ledger of transactions is public, it's called the blockchain.
