<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 2621508, member: 12789&quot;]Biafran coins saw little circulation, there were some 3d, 6d and 1/ coins struck but the country didn&#039;t last that long.&nbsp; The paper money was for a time fairly easy to come by as the printer was stuck with a bunch of it still not shipped when the war ended in 1969.&nbsp; I think I remember getting some in a Cheerios box when I was a kid, only wanted the money not the cereal.&nbsp; Most of the L1 notes are still fairly common, but the L5 notes are quite scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as an aside, borders were drawn by colonial powers with absolute clueless thought to putting people who hated each other in the same borders and splitting other tribes across borders.&nbsp; The result, South Sudan, Biafra, Katanga, Eritrea and that hinterland of Africa, Somalia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
