    so,

    that

    gold on an Islamic intra nation basis, but

    that could change quickly. A review of the

    trade balances of Malaysia and its intra

    Islamic trade partners indicates that if the

    GoldDinar

    is

    employed

    as

    now

    suggested,

    it

    would tie up approximately 200 tonnes of

    gold production equal to 10%of newmine
