THREATS CURRENCY

	THREATS CURRENCY Currency dollar hegemony the United States have proven our shattered economy and the Asian economy. The case is causing us to think a new currency that can rival the United States dollar. The currency is the dinar and Dirham, which has been used in the Roman and Persian era before Islam. Trade is the basis of the economy in Arabia before Islam came. Prerequisite for the transaction is the means of payment that can be trusted. Arabia and neighboring areas are under the direct authority of Persia and Rome. Unit of the money is used countries is the Dirham and the dinar. In the transaction of business Arabia in the second type of currency is also accepted. With more strong political both countries, the payment instrument is more trusted in the region that are under the influence of power. Because of that factor, the Persian nation and the nation's Roman is the only trading partner of the Arab people (Sadr, 1989). Dirham coin and the dinar has the weight and still have the content of silver or gold that remains. However, the dynasty Umayyah period Abbassiyah dynasty and the weight change, so also in the Persian own. In the period after Islam, the content of silver coins between different Dirham The one area to another, but in the early Islamic period has been fixed. At this time the amount of charity gold and silver as mentioned in the book is based on the severity of the holy Dirham and the dinar coin set in the early Islamic period (Kattani, 1975:413). Value of one dinar equal to ten Dirham (Sadr, 1989). But in the Dynasty Fathimiyah namely in the Al-Hakim bin Amrillah dinar price equal to 34 Dirham because many Dirham-Dirham mixture (Al Maqrizy, 1988:70-80). In dinating the Ottoman period, the official financial system Utsmaniah since 1534 Base on the goods in gold and silver mines, with 1:15 (Imarah, 1993:101). In addition dinar and Dirham, there is money to meet the needs for goods sales slightly cheaper price of one Dirham or part of the Dirham, because the first since up to now people need a tool to exchange other than gold and silver. To meet the needs of the purchase of cheap goods, they print a few of copper in the process of small pieces of money given name (copper cash) (Al Maqrizy, 1988:90). Value of money compared Dirham in the early Islamic period is 1: 48 (Al-Hallaq, 1986:17). Value does not keep the money to increase the copper Dirham in the year 756 H with a ratio of 1: 24 (Al-Sayuthi, 1975:104). Dinar and Dirham is the currency stable world from the beginning of Islam until now. Inflation in 1400 after years is zero. The price of chicken in the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. 1 Dirham and now (2006) is still about 1 Dirham (Vadillo, 1998). Dinar currency is ideal to facilitate and improve international trade and minimize speculation in the paper money that can trigger the Asian currency crisis of 1997. The existence of a fund unity between the countries of Muslim world will increase the quantity of trade between Muslim countries and help improve economic development if the condition of providing money dinar were successful (Beshir, 2003). Currency idea to help minimize the gold dinar currency hagemoni dollars the United States and once again use the dinar as an international currency because the value of paper currency does not continue to fluctuate as currency stabilnya gold, which has long lasting value, the value is the value of the metal itself. The system is built on the idea that the Islamic government to keep the gold at the Central Bank and use it in the framework of commercial transactions depend on foreign financial markets and the company's financial foreigner (Hanafi, 2003). Opportunities to use the dinar currency that is large enough, because the number of members of the population from the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) reached 1.1 billion or 19.2% of the population of the world. So we have time to replace dollar with the dinar.
