I remember those notes

When I was in Primary school I never handled money because we ate lunch in school.

When I got to secondary school my dad would give me 1Naira for lunch, After buying and eating like a King, I start with "Ekanna Dimka"(Dimkas nail), eat rice(Rice 40k, Beans 10k, meat 10k), bread and Akara, Meatpie and Green Sands I still had like 30k per day I started saving it and when it was 1Naira I used my savings to buy Guardian Newspaper.

It was later that i soji and started buying Lolly Magazines

what of 25 kobo coins,hope someoneremembered that too,during my primary days i used to buy pop corn 20 kobo and groundnut 30 kobo totaling 50kobo and collect change from 10 kobo,what a good time then

men though i didnt get to spend some of these curencies i am building a collection of old money from cowry to coins with hole in the center just that i dont have the 50kobo note yet.

I remember those good old days in the early 80s in Lagos then. My dad used to give me 10k for lunch which we usually put in our lunch plates, 5k for fruits and an additional 5k for extras e.g. groundnut or kulikuli. Then, a tin of Carnation milk was 15k, Coast milk 20k, and Peak milk 25k. Life was sweet then and economy was booming until shagari introduced his austerity measures that set the ball rolling for the military to take over and bastardize the economy with the irrecoverable blow called SAP. The rest is history now.
And way back then, k meant kobo...

If you look at the picture of this currency, check the promise made by the Central Bank. Compare it with the latest currencies we have now. You will discover that we have all been 419ed by CBN. In the first instahnce, will they honour the promose to pay £1.00. Secondly, the new currencies are just a note without any promise. Major currencies have promise "to pay". If you found an old pound currencies, Bank of England will pay you the value, based on the promise. Naija wake up.

I remember vividly when I use to go to Malam Isah kiosk at Agausa street off Ojo road in the late 70s and 80s to buy delicious sweets and chocolates with just 1 Naira coin taken (mind you not stolen) from my mummy's purse. Children of nowadays, una miss o. I use to consume 2 tins of conbeef (pls u cn correct me if d spelling is wrng) on a sitting. Hei, how I wish the good old day will come again.

This is great, you guys challenged me, is any one with early coins that has big hole in the center. I guess that will be the earliest coins. God please restore the glory of this nation. In 70s dollar is far behind naira, infact naira ranked 2nd among the world currencies.
