On the other hand, there are two methods ofold money sale which aredirect selling (sell it manually) and purchasing itvia online. Besides, there are several factors encouraging the old money transaction development at Lhokseumawe, namely: economic factors, hobbies, uniqueness factors, the collectors' hobby, scarcity factors, and historical values. In Sharia Economic Law observation, the old money sale transactions are "permissible" because the old money is no longer applied for a medium of exchange. Likewise, because of its high price, the commercial of old money is allowed. Meanwhile, the old money becomes a high value and antique object/merchandise like other art items such as ancient furniture and paintings. Therefore, high prices determination for old money exchange is reasonable and permissible in the KHES (kompilasi Hukum Ekonomi Syariah) which is one of the references in Sharia Economic law.
