| DINAR (2384 words) |
 | Dinars were occasionally issued at other places in the western caliphate, but no dinars were issued in Persia until, apparently, the year 220/835 in Marv. |
| Dinars of the 11th and 12th centuries vary randomly from less than one dinar's weight to as much as five or six times the standard weight (Neàgre). |
| This was probably the result of very low minting charges for dinars, which made the monetary value of a dinar coin very close to the commercial value of the gold in it, leaving little margin for the variation in weight which was unavoidable when coins were made by hand. |
