Before N50.00 there was a twenty naira N20.00 as the highest denomination. There was a country.

I bounced between Cookie biscuit and Okin Shortcake

No generator at first but nights were fun when Nepa takes light! Night games and stories began!

very valuable then...but now.... totally useless

If not that Nigeria is almost dead and will soon die off completely I would have asked them to bring back this notes because they're actually finner than the current ones.
