The Ugandan Shilling (UGX) is the official currency of Uganda, issued by the Bank of Uganda.
The modern series highlights the nation’s cultural identity, natural resources, and economic development, featuring portraits of national heroes, key industries, and iconic wildlife.
These notes incorporate enhanced security features, bold colour palettes, and durable materials designed for long‑term circulation in Uganda’s varied climate.
They remain the primary legal tender across the country and are widely recognised throughout East Africa.

Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, Uganda issued several earlier generations of Shilling banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic paper issues, older portraits, traditional engraving styles, and designs reflecting Uganda’s political and economic evolution throughout the late 20th century.
Earlier series featured different national symbols, older security elements, and layouts that were gradually replaced as the Bank of Uganda modernised the currency.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier Ugandan 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At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Ugandan Shilling notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
