Breaking currency news: US Dollar to be banned in Syria due to Conflict

As hyper-inflation eats away at the Syrian Pound and rebels use US Dollars to buy weapons (presumably), Assad has outlawed the US Dollar inside Syria.

Here is another report that the Syrian banknotes are rumored to be currently produced in Moscow and are only fit to be circulated inside Syria: http://english.al-akhbar.com/node/8901

UPDATE: I noticed that the Wall Street Journal has stopped listing the exchange rate of the Syrian Pound in the Commodities & Currencies section of the newspaper.  It still has Lebanon, Jordan, Bahrain, Israel, Egypt, etc.  I wonder if anyone knows the true value of the currency at this point.
