World Money Series - Kenya Traditional Geocache

I've saved the foreign currency that I still had after returning home from vacations over the years. I thought it would make a interesting cache theme.

While I do not have banknotes/coins from all the countries I visited, I will create caches for those I do. Please leave the foreign currency in the cache for all to enjoy (feel free to add more if you have some to share). I am also including 'fake' money and other swag to trade.

THE KENYAN SHILLING:

Kenya began printing and minting its own currency in 1966 under the mandate given to the Central Bank of Kenya in the Central Bank of Kenya Act cap 491. The initial issue of Kenya shilling notes were in the denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 shillings, all bearing the portrait of the First President of Kenya, H.E. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in the front, and diverse scenes of economic activities in Kenya at the back. Denominations have progressively changed since then. Current denominations of banknotes and coins in circulation are as follows:- Coins – 5cent, 10 cent, 50 cent, 1 shilling, 5 shilling, 10 shilling, 20 shilling and 40 shilling Notes – 50 shilling, 100 shilling, 200 shilling, 500 shilling and 1,000 shilling. More details on the History of Kenyan Currency can be found by contacting the Bank.

The appropriate permit has been obtained from the Dane County Parks Department. A copy of which is in the cache container. Please do not remove.

Congratulations to Kungfuhippie for the FTF!
