The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the official currency of Tanzania, issued by the Bank of Tanzania.
The modern series highlights the country’s cultural heritage, wildlife, and national institutions, featuring portraits of influential leaders, iconic animals, and important architectural landmarks.
Current notes incorporate enhanced security features, bold colour palettes, and durable materials designed for long‑term circulation in Tanzania’s tropical climate.
These designs remain the primary legal tender across the country and are widely recognised throughout East Africa.

Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, Tanzania issued several earlier generations of Shilling banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic paper issues, older portraits, traditional engraving styles, and designs reflecting Tanzania’s political and economic development since independence.
Earlier series featured different wildlife themes, national symbols, and older security elements that were gradually replaced as the Bank of Tanzania modernised the currency.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier Tanzanian Shilling notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Tanzanian Shilling notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
