Currency
Some of the coins and bills that were in circulation from 1997 to 1990. Several other bills were in circulation at that time, but none of the ones I have were in good enough condition to scan. An inflation rate around 100% per year rendered all the coins in this set worthless by 1990. I never bought anything that cost less than one leone while I was there. By 1996, the 10 and 50 leone bills were replaced with coins.
