The reason why this is a question at all is because it is an issue related to the murky origins of Islam. On that issue, there is a great deal of half-truth and outright falsehood being spread with magisterial confidence. This brief video from Hatun Tash’s DCCI Ministries explodes one such claim.
Get Did Muhammad Exist? here and Muhammad: A Critical Biography here.

This video is a bit of a mess.

Yeah, really shoddy video editing by Hatun
Hans Blinker says
No, I think it has been hacked. It’s even spoken in Dutch. That can’t be.

I wouldn’t mark coins as conclusive, but I will say that the presence of crosses on Umayyad coins does raise eyebrows! Bigger points against this were the locus of the Arab conquests, and the one that defied credulity was the Medina to Damascus conquest
Patrick says
I buy the coin issues related to each ruler and therefore, no coins exist for Muhammad, therefore, Muhammad does not exist, end of story, end of Muhammad. Praise God the Father Almighty, his son our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost!

It’s not an open and shut proof. There were plenty of rulers who didn’t have coins, b’cos their reigns were periods of instability, so having the mint mint coins in their name was low in priority to reinforcing their power
What Robert Spencer talks about in his books is the strange aspect of Umayyad coins that have Muawiyya on one side, and crosses on the other. Given everything that there is in the qur’an and sunnah about crosses and Christ, one would have thought that that would be the last thing one would expect on an Arab coin. But it’s there, which is what throws open into question the when of islam’s foundation, as well as the whos
Captain Quirk says
Just one question: prove muhamad existed (only 3 words). If you can’t we have to proceed from his non-existence. I was truly impressed by Dr. Jay Smith’s series ‘Dismantling Islam’. It’s not only the decent way to go, but it’s devastating for mohamedanism. Simple, spot on and effective, so basically brillliant.
