About New Zealand Dollar (NZ$)
The New Zealand Dollar (NZD, ISO 4217 code 554, symbol NZ$ or 'Kiwi') is the official currency of New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, and the Pitcairn Islands, issued by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ, est. 1934). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes are polymer (since 1999): NZ$5 (Sir Edmund Hillary, the only NZ banknote featuring a living person at time of issue — until his death 2008), NZ$10 (Kate Sheppard — Suffrage), NZ$20 (Queen Elizabeth II → King Charles III planned), NZ$50 (Sir Apirana Ngata), NZ$100 (Lord Ernest Rutherford); coins: 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, NZ$1 ('kiwi dollar' featuring the kiwi bird), NZ$2. 1¢ and 2¢ coins withdrawn 1990; 5¢ withdrawn 2006. NZD is the world's 10th-most-traded currency per BIS Triennial Survey 2022. RBNZ was the first central bank in the world to formally adopt inflation targeting (March 1990, 0-3% CPI target, now 2% midpoint with 1-3% range per 2018 Policy Targets Agreement).
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.
