In a dream it is a man who speaks well, and there is trickery in his speech. It is also said he is a righteous man of good presence, if he does not take a wage; if he does take one, he is a hypocrite. It is also said he is a talebearer who carries words; and it is said he is a poet.
Whoever sees that he mints dirhams and dinars and is fit for governance will attain it. Seeing it signifies the king's deputy who carries out his affairs, or the preacher who spreads his name in the sermon. It may signify an illustrator, copyists, and one who extracts money with violence, evil and beating. Seeing it may signify something for which a legal punishment becomes due on him. It is also said that the minter of dinars keeps his prayers and fulfills trusts, while the minter of bad dirhams is a man of bad speech and words without deeds. It is also said that the minter of dirhams and dinars signifies one whose craft is to describe speech and make it beautiful, such as the jurist and the dream interpreter.
