Talk:Modern gold dinar

message: This ist pure - excuse the harsh word - bullshit. The Islamic Dinar ist no Buillon and this text is only a copy of the Website which sells these coins. I just wrote the text in the german wikipedia (:de:Islamischer Dinar) an not one word of this here is true! Dickbauch 11:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You say that not one word here is true. Are you suggesting that Islamic Dinar does not exist? I think that this article should not be speedily deleted, but cleaned up and merged with Gold dinar to produce one good article. I urge administrators not to delete this page but to request proposer of this speedy deletion to supply references which will provide this article is pure bullshit. --Dijxtra 12:42, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, I agree it smells like an ad, but it is a true product in lines with Liberty Dollar and Ithaca Hours. Could be all merged together to form one decent article (Islamic Dirham, Islamic gold dinar, and E-dinar)  Joe  I 08:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Gold coins that people acquire chiefly for their gold content rather than for their numismatic value (Krugerrands, etc.) are widely known as gold bullion coins. The word bullion just means the price you pay for the coin is very close to the value of the gold it contains. As to whether this is a legitimate topic, I think yes. I've been involved with the libertarian movement since the 1970s, and they've been trying to do this sort of thing for a long time (think Ron Paul). During the Reagan/Thatcher era some people within the Islamic world picked up on the idea. Since the 1990s it's been discussed at the national level in the Gulf States (UAE), Malaysia, and quite a few other places. Zyxwv99 (talk) 22:40, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Could the author please double-check the ibn Khaldun quote giving the 7:10 exchange rate. Philip Hitti, History of the Arabs, quotes it as 1:10 (look up dinar or dirham in the Index). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.29.253.65 (talk) 16:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Dinar/Dirham Exchange Rate [7:10 or 1:10] 

message: Nota Bene: there is a competing page, Gold Dinar (the capital D in "Dinar" is important as Gold dinar redirects here.). These pages ought to be merged. A third page, Dinar, covers modern currencies. Aramgar (talk) 02:32, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Quote: "the state government of Kelantan allows their use in transactions while it is illegal according to the federal law"
It is true that the coins do not have legal tender status, but that does not make them "illegal".
"Legal tender" means government and other institutions are obligated by law to accept the coins/bills as payment.
Coins which are not "legal tender" may also be used as currency, but everyone is free to refuse accepting them.

thread_title:  Legal tender vs. illegal 

message: While there aren't many citations for this article, they do seem to adhere to WP:RS. It would be helpful if someone who is uncomfortable with the article's current state could make requests or some constructive criticism of the article's current state. That way, cleaning things up and sourcing it in a better way would be easier. MezzoMezzo (talk) 11:28, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation issues 

message: The references to Libya (6 to 8) are unsatisfactory.  Ref. 6 is simply a reader's comment on an internet news story; Refs. 7 and 8 are links to the same agitprop news story on Russia Today.  If this story is true, can anyone provide more trustworthy sources?

replies: text: There aren't any trustworthy sources, because this is a practically a conspiracy theory. Even after half a decade, there is no proof whatsoever other than the shady RT clip which contains an interview with well-known conspiracy theory whacko James Thring. Since RT can not be considered a reliable and objective news source, it shouldn't be used as one for this article, especially since it's pretty obvious that it tries to divert blame for Gaddafi's overthrow by his own people away from him to the western world. Also, the biggest part of the section is attributed to an article by theeconomist.com, yet no information about what is claimed to be found there, is actually in the article. I'll remove the section, but I bet it will be reverted soon enough. 217.190.150.99 (talk) 11:19, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a #Libya section with three references, 1st by The Guardian, or actually an op-ed by david Swanson, 2nd by Vice Media, and the 3rd a clear case for a kill, The New American page has far-right in the lede, it can't get worse. –84.46.52.129 (talk) 23:20, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Libya 

message: The article says that "In Malaysia, the state government of Kelantan allows their use in transactions while it is illegal according to federal law." Something is illegal means, use of it is prohibited by the law and will bear punishment. If anyone should say that using gold dinar is illegal, any person producing it, holding it, transporting it or using it should be punished. Does this happen? Has this been clearly mentioned in Malaysia's law?--Fahim (talk) 17:20, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
