HC Deb 24 November 1920 vol 135 c486W
Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state when the new florin currency will be introduced in Kenya Colony and Tanganyika territory; and whether the same currency will be introduced by the Government of Zanzibar or whether that will remain a rupee currency?

Lieut.-Colonel AMERY

The new currency has already been introduced in Kenya and Uganda, and a considerable supply of the new coins will be available in a few weeks. The introduction of the new currency into Tanganyika will follow at an early date. Zanzibar will remain on a rupee currency.
