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.

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?

I was born in the UK around that period. We emigrated to Australia later.

The UK form is completely different.

And if it was a UK form... how come it has “Kenya” etc on it? The place had had its own administration for half a century.
