Although Humam’s first book achieved a wide local and international spread , it did not achieve its primary goal of spreading the culture of reading among his generation, according to the Syrian youth.

He pointed out that the process of documentation took a year and a half to re-document and control the information to be of a high degree of credibility and accuracy.

Humam said that the revenue of the book, which was printed by the Teachers Union in Damascus, was for the families of the martyrs, in appreciation of their sacrifice for the sake of the continuity of the Syrian civilization.

Concerning the features and characteristics of the Syrian currency, Humam said that the Syrian currency was ranked globally among the most beautiful currencies in terms of design, shape and evidence, adding that each piece has a certain symbolism and significance which documents the Syrian civilization.

The young Syrian highlighted the fact that the five hundred ancient Syrian pounds note got the most beautiful design in a British competition for world currencies.

Humam issued a year and a half ago his first book, entitled “From the History of Currency in Syria and the Levant".
