Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa unveiled the country's new banknotes at a ceremony in Damascus on Monday, removing images of ousted leader Bashar al-Assad and his father Hafez al-Assad in a symbolic break with the past.
The new currency, which enters circulation on 1 January, features denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Syrian pounds following the removal of two zeros from existing notes.
