How to check whether its a fake or real coins......

Ok everyone here are some gudelines to differetiate fake or real........
 
Visual inspection and Weight per Volume method
  • So if you know the coin/bar volume, you can determine the weight for it to be silver.  In practice just take an existing silver coin and compare it with new coins. If the size and weight match, this is a good indication that the coins are genuine.
  • 2 other good points to look out for:
                    i.            Coin edges should be reeded, i.e. grooved lines encircle the perimeter of coins. Reeded edges were originally added to coins to prevent clipping and counterfeiting.  
                  ii.            The quality of the coins finishing: genuine coins have a distinctive sheen to it that is neither too harsh nor too dull-looking.
  • If you don’t have a comparable item, you can compare the coin / bar specifications (size and weight) with the item in question.
  • After handling silver bullion for a while, you will develop an instinctive feeling for genuine silver.
  • Tip, if you have known silver coins, bring them along when purchasing coins and use them as a comparison.
  Weighing the silver coins
Weigh the coins as most fake silver coins are made from metal alloys that weigh less than genuine silver.
Please be aware that some coins will have very small variations in weight due to the production process but will always be at or above 1 troy ounce.  
Canadian Maple Leaf coins, for example, might vary between 31. 10 and 31.45 grams as some coins contain a fraction of a gram more silver due to the production process. 
 
 Silver Testing Kit
There are some convenient silver purity tests using acid that react with silver.  It is difficult to obtain these in Singapore as they cannot be shipped by air from USA and are poisonous. Such tests are also likely to leave permanent "test marks" and effectively only test the surface of the coin.

The Prophet (PBUH) and The Collapse of Paper Money

The Prophet and the collapse of paper money

I came upon this part in a book called "Jerusalem in the Qur'an" by Imran N. Hosein there's a section that explain what is going to happen to OUR MONEY..... 

CHECK IT OUT.....

It is also a matter of absolutely critical importance that Muslims should carefully
study the prophecy of the Prophet (‘alaihi al-Salam) in which he has prophesied the
collapse of artificial secular currency (i.e., paper, plastic, and electronic money, etc.):
“Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam (ra) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: A time is
certainly coming over mankind in which there will be nothing (left) which will be of use (or
benefit) save a dinar and a dirham (gold and silver coins).”
(Musnad, Ahmad)
That prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) is about to be
fulfilled. Today’s monetary system uses ‘paper’ to make ‘money’. That is a manifest
fraud! Artificial money is quite different from real money. Real money has intrinsic
value, while paper money has none. Its only value is that conferred upon it by market
forces. Its market value will last only for as long as, and to the extent that, there is
public confidence in it and demand for it in the market. Demand is itself based on
confidence, and confidence is something that can be manipulated (as Malaysia’s Prime
Minister has now recognized, and as Indonesia has recognized too late). So long as
governments controlled the so-called free-currency markets, they could intervene to
protect public confidence. But the currency market is now controlled by the most
vicious of all speculative forces, forces fueled by compelling greed with no loyalties.
Anything that seriously disturbs market confidence will cause the speculative
stampede that will fulfill the prophecy of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
The collapse of money in what may best be described as a ‘money meltdown’, will
witness the final success of the European (who became Jews) in their more than a
thousand years of struggle for Jewish rule over the whole world. Those who have real
money will survive the meltdown, while those speculators who successfully exploit the
collapse will make the greatest profits ever. The masses will lose their wealth and be
enslaved. They will be caught with worthless paper parading as money. That is the
financial holocaust that is certain to occur.
Others as well, beside our blessed Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), are now
predicting that financial meltdown. Judy Shelton, for example, uses it as the very title
of her excellent book entitled: “Money Meltdown: Restoring Order to the Global
Currency System.” (New York, The Free Press, 1994). We should not forget, nor
allow the world to forget, the dramatic, ominous, and unprecedented collapse of the
US dollar in January 1980 when the value of the dollar relative to gold fell to
approximately $850 for one ounce! (In 1971 it was $35 an ounce. Its present
‘managed’ value is kept within the range of $280 - $380 per once.) This collapse of the dollar took place in the immediate wake of the successful anti-Western Islamic
revolution in Iran that gave control of the vast oil resources of Iran to an anti-systemic
Islamic government. A similar collapse occurred in 1973 just after the Arab-Israeli
war and the imposition of an Arab oil embargo on USA. The US dollar fell in value by
a massive 400% from US$40 for an ounce of gold to US$160.
In fact the collapse of the International Monetary System would occur when the
Jews consider it opportune to bring down the US dollar. They can do that at any time
since the US dollar made of paper is manifestly fraudulent since it is essentia lly
worthless. When the US dollar collapses it will bring down all other paper currencies
in the world. The major beneficiary of that collapse will be the State of Israel, since it
is those who control banks who would now control money. Governments will no
longer be able to issue money. Rather it is banks (controlled by Jews) that would now
issue plastic (i.e., electronic) money! That money-meltdown will, perhaps, take place
when Israel launches its major war against the Arabs and then successfully defies the
entire world. That successful display of military and political power together with the
new financial control that comes with the collapse of paper-money would deliver to
Israel the status of being the Ruling State in the world. This writer believes that that
event is likely to take place within the next five to ten years or even earlier. Already
Israel has successfully defied the President of USA who demanded on several
occasions that Israel withdraw her military forces from Palestinian towns she occupied
after a wave of Palestinian ‘human bombs’ took a heavy toll of Jewish lives.


Hope its a relevation for all of you...
