Damascus-Sana
Hammam Abd al-Rahman, who is eighteen years old, continues his project in codifying and documenting the history of currency and currencies in the Arab world through his second book, which will be published soon, entitled (From the History of Money in Arab Africa).
The book includes chapters on the currencies of the Arab countries in the continent of Africa, explaining them with information and pictures in terms of shape, history, and currency development in each country.
Hammam, who is pursuing his studies in the third grade of secondary school, did not prevent him from continuing his interest and hobby in collecting money and documenting it in a scientific and accurate way, according to what he explained to SANA, indicating that he relies on the central bank of each country to document its currencies in addition to his communication with people interested in this field and boycotting information to obtain To the most accurate.
Despite the arrival of Hammam's first book to a wide local and international spread, in his view, it did not achieve its primary goal of spreading the culture of reading and reading among the children of his generation, pointing out that the codification process took a year and a half to re-document and control the information to be of a high degree of credibility and accuracy.
Hammam stated that the proceeds of the book, which was sponsored by the Teachers Syndicate in Damascus, are for the families of the martyrs, in appreciation of their sacrifices and donations for the sake of continuing the culture of life and the Syrian civilization.
On the features and characteristics of the Syrian currency, Hammam stated that the Syrian currency was ranked globally among the most beautiful currencies in terms of design, shape and evidence. Each piece has a certain symbolism and significance documenting the Syrian civilization, pointing out that the five hundred ancient Syrian pounds got the most beautiful design in a British competition for world currencies.
Hammam had issued a year and a half ago his first book, entitled (From the History of Currency in Syria and the Levant).
