Central Bank of Kenya plans to open a currency museum mid next month. The museum will exhibit, among others, golden coins, as part of the activities to celebrate 50 years of operation.

Among the currencies that would be displayed at the exhibition are those used many decades ago and have since been withdrawn from circulation, including the Sh2 coin and Sh5 note that were first produced in 1966 when the CBK was established.
