    The Kelantanese dinar is an unofficial currency issued by the Government of the Malaysian state of Kelantan, which purportedly is in conformance with the concept of the Islamic gold dinar, but which does not have the status of legal tender. The Kelantanese dinar is available in the form of coins of several denominations. These coins were first struck in 2006 by Mariwasa Kraftangan of Kuala Kangsar, Perak, a local producer of souvenirs and replicas of objects of art and culture, and launched by the state of Kelantan on 20 September 2006. The Government of Kelantan had suggested that the coins had the status of legal tender, and the state-issued dinar sold out quickly, with many buyers seeing this as an investment.

    However, the federal Malaysian government in Kuala Lumpur denied that the Kelantanese dinar had a legal-tender status, stating that the buyers had been misled by the Kelantanese government. The only currency that is legal tender in Kelantan is the Malaysian ringgit. According to the Malaysian constitution, ninth schedule, list I sub 7.a, the states of Malaysia do not have the right to issue coins. In fact, the federal government had already declared publicly in 2006, in response to the plan announced by the Kelantanese government and before any of the coins were minted, that state governments could not issue their own currency.

    Imposible comprender la caída de Dominique Strauss-Kahn sin situarla en el contexto del proyecto que ese personaje representaba: la creación de una nueva moneda internacional de reserva prevista para hoy, 26 de mayo de 2011. Un proyecto paradójicamente muy esperado, tanto por los países emergentes como por los medios apátridas del mundo de la finanza, aunque rechazado por el complejo militaro-industrial israelo-estadounidense. Thierry Meyssan levanta el velo sobre el golpe bajo con el que la administración Obama trata de escapar a sus compromisos.
