The evolution of the list of currencies minted by the Somalis and used during the coloniali era is interesting.

To go from being one of the few, I repeat FEW! africans (continent devoid of civilizations) to mint their own currencies upon centuries before decolonisation phase and the formation of african states To not have printed or mint their currencies for new circulations in more than 25 years

Mogadishu deserves to be the capital due to it's long history of continuously being a trading hub. But ever gear empire falls. We must look to the future. Maybe the new gov should go old school and remint these coins

I'm dazzled at how great all of these coins and banknotes were.

Absolutely amazing.
