About the Rwandan Franc
Rwanda and Burundi shared a common currency, the Rwanda-Burundi franc, during the colonial period. When the two countries became independent in 1962, they continued the monetary union briefly before splitting into separate currencies in 1964, giving rise to the Rwandan franc issued by the National Bank of Rwanda.
