Banknotes feature national leaders, cultural symbols, and local wildlife. Cash is widely used, while cards and digital payments are accepted mainly in larger cities like Dar es Salaam. Coins are used for smaller amounts. The shilling’s value can fluctuate with economic conditions. The Tanzanian shilling reflects the country’s independence, culture, and economy.
