Deepak Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 ISIS have minted their coins and said that they will circulate it through out their territory, whether that is achievable, I seriously doubt it, but if one of these coins get on Ebay or other websites, how much would people be prepared to pay for it to add to their coin collection?

Art1.2 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I personally would not have such a coin in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepak Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I personally would not have such a coin in my collection. Is it because of moral issues or the lack of interest in collecting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepak Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I always wondered if people were interested in them, how much would they pay for it?, that's if Ebay or other sites allow it. Also if someone finds an Islamic State coin on the street (an unlikely scenario, but there have been terrorists coming back to the west from ISIS territories), what would you do?

gxseries Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 My question to you is do you support a regime that actively kills people, loot their belongings and have them recycled as coins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't doubt that people will pay a great deal for them but I suspect that they will soon be taken down from eBay, the same way that IS flags have been. If I was offered the chance I would not purchase them as it would be profiting a group that is actively committing some of the most barbaric acts we've ever witnessed.

Capt-AWACS Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have no interest in collecting them, but in the future they will be worth money to certain subsets of collectors and those specializing in certain parts of the world or themes. At some stage they will even be in museums I am sure. Just as Nazi or Confederate money is popular with many today-for a variety of reasons-these will be too. I certainly have coins from bad regimes, especially a lot of Mussolini era coins so I do not want to seem a hypocrite, but having spent enough time in the part of the world the interest is not there for me.

wabnoles Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I do not have any interest in collecting this type for the same reason I have no interest in collecting Nazi coins/stuff, which is for moral reasons. I was in one place that had a number of Nazi coins in a 5 for $1 bucket and I just skipped right by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davobenz Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 It gold 5 (value whatever it is) suggests that their goal is to rule the Wolrd Roman emperor Trajan had the title Rector orbis (Ruler of the World). Obviously, he had never heard of America or China. The Nazis had the idea as master race, to rule the whole World. They didn't. Islamic State won't either. Do you want to collet their coins? That's up to you. Perhaps I may collect I.S. coins after their regime has been consigned to history. Thats' when and why I have a few Nazi and DDR coins.
