dinar & dirham

[Guest]

Would someone suggest how I should go about trying to buy a couple of these?

I'm having trouble finding anyone selling them online.

As pretty as they are I don't know if they are actually legal tender. I'd suggest you request more info directly from the Islamic Mint.

 

PS-another place you might try is:

Lauren Benson, Inc.

Dinar and Dirham are valid currencies in several countries, but I could not find any pictures of the ones in your link in my 2002 Krause.

It doesn't matter to me if they're legal tender or not. They're pretty. I sent the mint an e-mail a few weeks ago but they never replied. The website looks as if it hasn't been modified in a while, so I can't say I'm surprised.

 

Thanks for the referral, may I ask why you recommend them?

Lauren Benson, Inc. handles a lot of foreign coins and might have what you are looking for. I've purchased from them and have had no problems. They put out a yearly price list w/updates during the year. A good idea would be an e-mail including the link so they can see what you want.
