About Moroccan Dirham (د.م.)

The Moroccan Dirham (MAD, ISO 4217 code 504, symbol د.م. or DH) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Morocco, also used in the disputed territory of Western Sahara, issued by Bank Al-Maghrib (BAM, est. 1959). Subdivided into 100 santimat (centimes in French). Banknotes: 20 DH, 50 DH, 100 DH, 200 DH (the current 'King Mohammed VI' series introduced 2012-2013 features King Mohammed VI portrait and Moroccan landmarks — Hassan Tower, Bab Mansour Gate, Atlas Mountains, Volubilis Roman ruins); coins: 5 santimat, 10 santimat, 20 santimat, ½ DH, 1 DH, 2 DH, 5 DH, 10 DH. The dirham is a managed-float currency tied to a basket of currencies (60% EUR + 40% USD weighting as of 2018 reform) with a ±5% trading band around the central rate. Morocco is the world's #1 phosphate-rock exporter (~70% of global reserves at OCP Group), a major manufacturer for European auto OEMs (Renault, Stellantis), and a tourism destination (~13 million visitors annually pre-COVID — Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Chefchaouen).

About Kenyan Shilling (KSh)

The Kenyan Shilling (KES, ISO 4217 code 404, symbol KSh; also written /=) is the official currency of the Republic of Kenya, issued by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK, est. 1966). Subdivided into 100 cents (no longer in use). Banknotes: KSh50, KSh100, KSh200, KSh500, KSh1,000 (current 'Kenya Generations' series introduced 2019 features Kenya's history, biodiversity, and infrastructure — replacing the previous series that featured presidential portraits, in response to a 2010 constitutional provision prohibiting portrayals of individuals on legal tender); coins: KSh1, KSh5, KSh10, KSh20, KSh40 (commemorative). Kenya is East Africa's largest economy (~$110B GDP in 2024). Kenya is also a global pioneer in mobile-money — M-Pesa (launched 2007 by Safaricom + Vodafone) has ~80% of Kenyan adults registered, processing ~$314B in transactions in fiscal year 2022 per CBK — making Kenya effectively a 'cashless' society for most retail transactions in the urban areas. CBK targets 5% CPI inflation ± 2.5% band. Major exports include tea (the world's #2 producer), cut flowers (~38% of EU cut-flower imports), coffee, and horticulture.
