CBK - time to change ugly kenya notes.
« on: September 16, 2017, 04:28:21 PM »
Kenya currency as the ugliest in the region - they are so old generation - they should have long gone.

Really? You are concerned with the FACE on the currency  :( You can even replace with Queen Mekatilili or Beautiful Nyakio... until our pea-size economy expands it all means so little.

I like our notes. Some countries have bills that look like monopoly bills, so weird. Like SA. I also think Euros look weird. Best-looking bills are American bills. But ours are ok. They look Iike real money.

I also thing USD are the best. Can't stop admiring the artwork. Explains my wallpaper.


But every time I hold GBP I feel raw power in my palm. Maybe it's because it's the strongest in the world


Only note I love is our 500/- bill.

I dont know what the pound looks like but yeah American bills are very majestic. Believe it or not there are some three or so currencies that are twice or more, stronger than the sterling pound. One I believe is the Kuwaiti one.

I like the old blue (20/-) that vanished from circulation. But at least our money looks like money. The G is the ugliest Kenyan bill. Horrible colour.

It's probably the paper they use but you don't find dirty dollars or even ugx or tshs or franc

The dollar is the dirtiest currency.  You don't know how many stripper's ass cracks it's been through.  Touch that money with caution.

Yep.  One of those deceptively clean looking things, but not quite that way.

If it is what I have seen, it is mediocre. Njoroge should hire a graphic designer from River Road. A better job can be done instead of just replacing Kenyatta's image with lions and elephants.

Well, I didn't really mind our money in the first place, so to me the animals look great. Maybe they'll take advantage of this change to redesign the whole thing if enough people lobby for it. If they do, they'be better not give us toy-looking money that belongs to a monopoly game.
