About Tanzanian Shilling (TSh)
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, ISO 4217 code 834, symbol TSh) is the official currency of the United Republic of Tanzania (mainland Tanzania + Zanzibar), issued by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT, est. 1965). Subdivided into 100 cents (no longer in use). Banknotes: TSh500, TSh1,000, TSh2,000, TSh5,000, TSh10,000 (highest denomination; current series introduced 2010-2011 features Tanzanian wildlife — giraffe, elephant, rhino, lion — and Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895m, Africa's highest peak); coins: TSh50, TSh100, TSh200, TSh500. Tanzania is one of East Africa's largest economies (~$84B GDP in 2024) and a major exporter of gold (Africa's 4th-largest gold producer), tanzanite (the only commercial source globally — found exclusively at Merelani Hills near Mount Kilimanjaro), coffee, cashews, and cotton. Tourism contributes significantly (Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar archipelago, Kilimanjaro climbing). The BoT targets 5% CPI inflation. Tanzania uses a managed-float exchange rate regime. The East African Community (EAC) has long-term plans for monetary integration with Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi.
About Nigerian Naira (₦)
The Nigerian Naira (NGN, ISO 4217 code 566, symbol ₦) is the official currency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN, est. 1958). Subdivided into 100 kobo. Banknotes: ₦5, ₦10, ₦20, ₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Nigerian historical figures including Sir Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, and includes the famously short-lived redesigned 2022 series); coins are rarely used in daily transactions. CBN announced a 'currency redesign' in October 2022 (new ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 banknotes) requiring withdrawal of old notes — implementation was chaotic, with widespread cash shortages in early 2023 contributing to election-period unrest. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy by nominal GDP (~$390B in 2024 per IMF WEO) and the world's 13th-largest oil producer (~1.4 million bpd). CBN abandoned the formal peg to USD in June 2023 under the new Bola Tinubu administration, unifying the official and parallel rates — naira depreciated ~70% in 12 months. Inflation reached 33%+ in 2024.
