 DINAR
Dinars were occasionally issued at other places in the western caliphate, but no dinars were issued in Persia until, apparently, the year 220/835 in Marv.
Dinars of the 11th and 12th centuries vary randomly from less than one dinar's weight to as much as five or six times the standard weight (Neàgre).
This was probably the result of very low minting charges for dinars, which made the monetary value of a dinar coin very close to the commercial value of the gold in it, leaving little margin for the variation in weight which was unavoidable when coins were made by hand.

One dinar was worth close to 2,000 per dollar when the new notes -- which depict Iraq's important scientific contributions, history, landscape, and economic life -- entered circulation.
Some Iraqis said this was the biggest same-day change in their currency's value since late 1995, when the dinar strengthened as the United Nations prepared to relax the economic embargo then in effect against Iraq.
As the dinar has grown stronger, more people have shifted their savings from dollars into dinars in expectations of a further increase in value.

The plan seemed to make sense; with the government of Iraq imploding, it was believed that the dinar would disappear with it, to be replaced by dollars, and at first glance that is what looked to be happening.
That led to the stunning result that the dinar grew in value as the dollar fell, and all the firepower in the world couldn't stop it, at least it has not yet.
