Syrian Pound to Armenian dram

The Syrian pound (sign £S, code SYP) circulates on the territory of Syria. It is also known as the Syrian lira. Small coins – piastres – are used as change.

One SYP equals 100 piastres. They are also known as qirsh. Technically, the coins exist, but are not used in circulation. The currency was issued in 1998, after the end of the civil war between Bosnia and Herzegovina. The rate of the national currency of this European country is tied to euro. The regime of the Military Council is used to regulate conversion.

The Armenian dram (sign ֏, code AMD) is the national currency of the Republic of Armenia, used within the borders of this Caucasian country. 1 dram could be previously subdivided into 100 lum. However, there are no coins or notes worth less than 10 dram used right now.

The currency has been issued in 1993 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Before that, the Soviet rubles had been in use. The country’s symbol on the notes was presented as iconic figures from the Armenian people, and as great architectural and art monuments as well. There is the national coat of arms and denomination decorated with a colorful design. The monetary unit’s name comes from the Greek drachma.
