Kenyan Shilling
The shilling ( sw, shilingi; abbreviation: KSh; ISO code: KES) is the currency of Kenya. It is divided into 100 cents. Notation Prices in the Kenyan shilling are written in the form of , where x is the amount in shillings, while y is the amount in cents. An equals sign or hyphen represents zero amount. For example, 50 cents is written as "" and 100 shillings as "" or "100/-". Sometimes the abbreviation ''KSh'' is prefixed for distinction. If the amount is written using words as well as numerals, only the prefix is used (e.g. KSh 10 million). This pattern was modelled on sterling's pre-decimal notation, in which amounts were written in some combination of pounds (£), shillings (s), and pence (d, for denarius). In that notation, amounts under a pound were notated only in shillings and pence. History The Kenyan shilling replaced the East African shilling in 1966 at par. Coins The first coins were issued in 1966 in denominations of , , and , and 1/= and 2 ...
