After the frenzy that was caused by the issue of the Algerian 1 dinar, which contains the image of a jar, and which turned into a rare coin that people bought with large quantities across the country, the national gendarmerie services in M’sila decoded the clues of this puzzle on Monday, and identified the source of this myth that a lot citizens believed, even though it is an innovative trick by someone who came from Guelma, eastern Algeria.
This crook who exceeded fifty years of age, was the first to publish the idea of the dinar, which contains the jar’s image, as he claimed artfully that this coin contains mercury and can be exploited in the rituals of witchcraft, and said that he was ready to buy the dinar at any price, an idea that he promoted cleverly, so it became a central preoccupation of many people, and he actually bought this currency with different amounts of at least 100 ZDZ, so the case spread across the country, and the dinar coin became a missing treasure that everyone is looking for.
Smart man promoted his idea outside his city and moved to Skikda, eastern Algeria, where the proposed the project on a young man in the age of thirty, and asked him to provide him with the dinar to buy it from him with 2000 ZDZ on condition that he provides the greatest amount possible.
This young man started the hunting of this currency everywhere, and in return the crook man promoted this currency in the vicinity of this young man, and bought it to people who know him with 900 ZDZ, and in turn they sell them to the young man on a value of 1000 DA, and then this young man collected 10.000 coins of this dinar, equivalent to one million centimes, which he bought with 100 million centimes, and he did not know that the majority was originating from that crook person, who was supposed to sell them with 200 million centimes, then the same person did the same thing with many young people, therefore the idea of the collection of the dinar spread in the period leading up to the elections, but after the young hero collected the money, he tries to contact the owner of the idea, but he was surprised because his cell phone was closed and every time he gets a voice message, “You can not make this call”.
Despite many attempts, the young man was unable to contact the owner of the idea, so he continued looking for him everywhere without finding an impact. Then he remembered that he came to him accompanied by another young man from M’sila, so he contacted him and told him about the latter, and that he could have come to him with coins to buy them and sell them in M’sila, and without hesitation, the young man from Skikda took the 10.000 coins, but during his trip he was arrested in a security checkpoint of gendarmes in Barhoum municipality in M’sila, where they subjected his car to normal inspection, and then found the bag of dinar coins, and when inquiring about the secret of this money, he tried to evade, but after subjecting him to investigation, he told the story from beginning to end, as his friend was called for investigation, and every time someone in connection with the case is arrested, as gendarmerie services was able to listen to 23 people from different localities.
It turned out that they bought the dinar and sold it with various prices, then they were referred to the investigation, but no one was able to contact the idea’s owner who disappeared from sight and closed his phone, and no one was able to reach him, but in return the source of the issue of the dinar,which baffled everyone, was found and it was shown that it’s about a trick that was invented by an impostor related to an ordinary coin which contains no mercury, and has nothing of attention.
