Yesterday I was gifted these two crisp 1985 Moi Ksh20 and Ksh 10 notes.

The back of the Sh10 features children drinking the pyramid pack milk.
Maziwa ya Nyayo was introduced in what year ?

When we were kids in the 80's, that green note was enough to sustain a family of four for a day comfortably, inclusive of newspaper and bus fares. *** inflation

1979. it was announced on jamhuri day, 1978, as one of moi's coronation gifts to kenyans....

edit: the back of the 20 denotes adult education aka ngumbaru which was one of the major government campaigns of the eighties ....

Thank you for the insight! I had no idea why the beaded ladies were reading Taifa Leo on a Sh20.

I also have a 20 shillings note from the Moi era hidden somewhere. I was given as change in a shop and decided to keep it for good.

During the Kenya @50 celebrations I saw a pink or purplish 50 note and I have never seen it again

My Dad used to give me a crisp 10 bob note which I dutifully kept between pages 63 and 64 of my GHC book.
Westlands to Tao - 2 bob
Tao to home - 8 bob.
Wueeh.
