Gaza Gold: Little coins help the poor in Palestinian enclave to save​


GAZA, Sept 7 (Reuters) - A Gaza dentist has developed ultra-lightweight gold coins to allow people without much money to access to one of the most widely used savings methods across the Middle East.

"The idea stemmed from the community's need to own gold amid the difficult living conditions the people live in," said Ahmed Hamdan, who developed the coins, which range in weight from half a gram to 10 grams.

"We have made gold available to people of all categories, gold that even the poor and those with low income can get some," Hamdan said.

I have a roll of 1/25 oz AH gold coins next time I want to get braces in the Gaza strip.
 
Was looking through the list of older threads and saw this thread from a month and half ago. I wonder if the Gaza dentist or any of his customers are still alive or will be once Israel is done fighting Hamas.
