Old and Torn Currency Notes

I have been in the County for the three days now and my observation is that there is an unusually high number of old torn Currency in circulation. In denominations of 50, 100 and 200.

Is it possible that somebody is stealing these notes that are meant to be destroyed and returning them into circulation?

No, too risky for little, breach CBK strong rooms or de LA rue for small denomination (I assume since its rural) bulky notes. Most likely its cash from those Shylocks who always pray on mama mbogas.

Mundu kilo moja ya Unga ni how much?

it is the norm

I think the money is just circulating and no one is taking it to the bank where it can be detained, before being taken back to central bank for destruction.

:D:D:D:D…They used to do that back in 2013…I hope the Governor has improved security huko, but all in all I cant brush away your argument!

Hatupimi kilo huku, ni gorogoro na ni 120/=

Kenya still retains poor colonial like style of currency design it’s lifespan is around 6 years for the lower denominations.

With the dawn of the new katiba, we were to have new currency without portraits of Presidents and therefore there has been no point of printing new ones with the old design. Sasa tendering dragged it’s feet kiasi, Njoroge alisema hadi 2017 juu cord zikatoka next year watapiga kelele.

I hate dirty currency notes, mutu ananyonga sigara anaweka kwa mfuka pamoja na noti…then unapewa kama change sanasana kwa matatu…peasant problems

Kwani the best currency iko na life span gani

unaongea mambo ya fegi nyongis na ile change ya msee ametoka sj DF utasema vipi , and other niggas who keep money in very awkward places. money can be very dirty.

Those matatu idiots fold the notes vibaya it takes you 5 minutes to rearrange.

:D:D:D maybe it is as a result of lack of exposure to cash. amezoe tunoti kiasi tu…sadness of life

WaKenya ni wachafu tu sana. Hizo hela noti ni chafu na hunuka vibaya sana. Huwa naziweka kwa plastic bag na kuzitumia haraka iwezekanavyo

pesa zote huwa chafu.

Hence the reason your must wash your hands,with soap

I hope noti mpya zitakuwa a little more uniform in size. And a more imaginative designs.
