<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 194941, member: 6370&quot;]Last I read there is no official coinage of somalia, I have this coin:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.tribalsoup.com/cache/somali.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and others like it but this was what was said about coinage in somalia:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2">Because of the lack of government, money is not a luxury most have in Somalia and many simply don&#039;t use it or use the sparsely produced paper currency. Coins are not in regular circulation in Somalia. This Somali Shilling (Animal series FAO base) is not an official Somali coin and is not in circulation in Somalia. It is only minted as a low value commemorative coin. Because of such instability and no real central government Somalia has only erratically minted official coins in sparse amounts. the use of coins is rare and those who use money at all use the 500 or 1000 shilling note.</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">I could be wrong but I dont think they have minted a circulating coin since the 70&#039;s - mid 80&#039;s at the latest.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
