The Kenyan shilling was introduced in 1966, replacing the East African shilling. It became Kenya’s national currency after independence and has remained in use ever since. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of Kenya, which manages the supply of banknotes and coins. New note and coin designs have been introduced over the years, but the shilling remains the country’s official currency.
