Firstly, why are the notes and coins marked in English?
Secondly, I really dislike "The Khilafah" - it just doesn't sound right to me! In Soviet times people talked of "The Ukraine", but the definite article was dropped on independence.
I know the Ottoman Empire was offically called "Devlet-i Aliyye" (The Sublime State). What official titles were used by earlier Caliphates?

1. These notes and coins are for illustrative purposes only to an english speaking audience. The Caliphate will employ expert money designers when the time comes and we mint our own currency.
2. Al-Khilafah is one of the names used in the Islamic legal texts. Imamah is also used. Classical scholars used Dar ul-Islam (land of Islam) and Dowlah Islamiyyah (Islamic State).
The name is not important but what the state represents. The European Union, The United States of America all use the definite article. Not sure its really a major issue.

I think it's better not to put the name of Allah on coins and notes. This is to prevent the possibility of carrying them into impure places. Besides there is no need for sacred texts to appear on them.
