My question is, did Kenya use pences (vs. pennies) between 1922, when the Kenyan Shilling was firmly established as the currency of the 3 East African British Protectorates and 1966, when Kenya started minting and printing money?

The Currency in Kenya since 1921 has been in Shillings and CENTS. It’s never used the £ s d system. Nor the £ p one that was introduced in the UK in 1968, and formally adopted in the early 70’s. This isn’t a matter of a legacy form.

“A brief monetary history:

* Indian currency, till 1905
* British East Africa Rupee = (Indian Rupee) = 100 Cents, till 1920
* British East Africa Florin = (Rupee) = 100 Cents, 1920-1921
* British East Africa Shilling = (1/2 Florin) = 100 Cents, 1921-1966
* Kenya Shilling = (East Africa Shilling) = 100 Cents, from 1966 “

Right. I've seen that history now. However, the form could be British, and the price could have come over from Britain in a bureaucratic avenue. Has anyone come up with another Kenyan BC from the period?
