Abbreviations
- [in UK] s. _or_ s _or_ / ( solidus )
- [in Kenya] Ksh ; ( _in Somalia_ ) So. Sh. ; ( _in Tanzania_ ) TSh ; ( _in Uganda_ ) UGS
In East Africa, the names of the currencies usually use the proper noun for
the country, not its adjectival form: "Kenya shilling", "Tanzania shilling",
etc. Amounts are written with a solidus, probably from the UK usage: "2/50"
is 2 shillings, 50 cents (not pence); 30 shillings only is written "30/=".
