Ugandan shilling

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

The 1000 shilling note depicts a farmer on one side and grain storage on the reverse.

The Ugandan shilling is the currency of Uganda. Its ISO 4217 currency code is UGS.

The shilling is a stable currency and predominates in most financial transactions in Uganda, which has a very efficient foreign exchange market with low spreads. The U.S. dollar is also widely accepted. The pound sterling and increasingly the Euro are also used.

In 2005, the Bank of Uganda was considering whether to replace the low value notes such as the 1000 shilling with coins. The lower denomination notes take a battering in daily use, often being very dirty and sometimes disintegrating.[1] (http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/14/426135)
