Independent Syria OLD Currency

The Syrian pound, locally referred to as the lira, is the official currency. Generally speaking, banks are the best places to exchange money, but there are also plenty of ATMs popping up, especially in Damascus and Aleppo. It's often a hassle (and sometimes impossible) to charge purchases to a credit card - getting cash advances from an ATM using a credit or bank card is probably the most convenient option.
