About the Tanzanian Shilling
Like its neighbors, Tanzania inherited the East African shilling from the British colonial-era East African Currency Board. After the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar formed Tanzania in 1964, the Bank of Tanzania introduced the country's own shilling in 1966, replacing the East African shilling one-for-one.
