The Dinar and Dirham has reached the city of Norwich because the people here want it and understand its significance. We have had various different markets for many years organised by the 'Open Trade Network', and supported by the community effort that is needed for these projects: all the people working on the market and the individual traders themselves. This has introduced the people of this city to the issues of trading, free markets and intrinsic currency wealth.
Recently we have had more local traders and businesses of all kinds accepting the coins. This includes an acupuncture specialist, a café, designers and traders who set up stalls after the Jumu'a outside the mosque.
This is marketed for everyone to see with a 'World Islamic Mint' poster on the wall of the business premises and on related local websites that helps people find out where they can use their coins, and provides information about the significance of this scheme as a non-usurious alternative.
We try to stimulate the growth of the economic practices of Islam and this approach answers the questions about how to be in society and how to treat these social problems as a whole, which will hopefully continue to benefit the people here in Norwich and grow beyond its borders.
