Syria first prints portrait of President Assad with new coins

V.A |

For the first time, a portrait of President Bashar al-Assad was printed on a 2,000-pound Syrian currency, starting to circulate on July 2.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Syria, Duraid Durgham, said the £ 2,000 sheet was one of a few banknotes printed a few years ago, but the decision to put into circulation was delayed "due to war circumstance and exchange rate fluctuations".This new bill is equivalent to about 4USD, at the current exchange rate.

The Syrian currency has decreased rapidly since the conflict in the country broke out and continued from 2011 to the present, falling from 47 pounds/1 USD in 2010 to 500 pounds/1 USD at the present time.

Sana news agency quoted Durgham as saying, this is the right time to bring new currencies into circulation, because the current banknotes are much torn.

Previously, the highest face value of Syria was £ 1,000.The father of Bashar al-Assad, the late President Hafez al-Assad, appeared on the coin and paper banknote 1,000 pounds of the old version, is still circulating.

The war in Syria has not had a way out after many years.On 2.7, a suicide car bomb killed 18 people in the eastern Damascus - one of the bloodiest attacks in Syrian capital for months.
