Kenya's shilling dates from 1966, when the newly created Central Bank of Kenya replaced the East African shilling at par. The old regional currency, shared with Uganda and Tanzania, remained valid in Kenya until 1969 while the new notes spread through the country.

Uganda first issued its own shilling in 1966 through the Bank of Uganda, replacing the East African shilling at par. Runaway inflation later forced a reset: in 1987 a new shilling replaced the old at 100 to 1, and that is the currency used today.
