Many people are not aware that we used to spend coins in Nigeria down to 0.5kobo which was our lowest denomination. Interestingly, except for the penny, they ALL still remain official legal tender even though no one will collect it from you as they have become valueless. 16 Likes 8 Shares

I remember using... 5,10,50 kobo coins. And the one naira coin. Not for long though, I think they were phasing out at the time. I also remember when the 1 naira coin was changed to paper note. I buy kulikuli, ojuku finger and hausa sweet that year. Nigerians don't really like coins... I remember I used to reject them initially when I came to ghana until I later got used to them. Now I kind of prefer them for the lower denomination currency! 19 Likes 1 Share |

budaatum:No, the penny is not a legal tender but all the kobo are still extant as they were never officially withdrawn or replaced 17 Likes 3 Shares |

brain54:Who can believe that Nigeria will come to a point when N50 naira note becomes so useless that you can't even buy one sweet with it! The last time we really used the coins was in the era of payphones. 8 Likes |
