The First Amman International Coin and Stamp Exhibition: A Vision and a Success”
The idea began with questions in my head, as happens with any hobbyist looking for something new, such as: Where can I get a specific coin that is missing from my collection? How can I buy the banknote I want for a certain country that I haven't found in the local markets?
