Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya
Federal Republic of Somalia
Central Bank of Somalia, Est.1960
Currency - Shilin (SOS)
Here, I have posted three notes from the country of Somalia. These three notes are all 1000 shilin and are also from the same design. Two notes are dated 1996 from the same series and the third one is dated 1990 and this 1990 print was issued by a disputed region, called Puntland in Somalia.
There are many varieties for the first two notes, but I only have two of them from Somalia and one from Somalia Puntland. The first Somalia note is printed with a 6-digit serial number and the other one is printed with a 7-digit serial number. All three notes are quite enjoyable to collect. Collecting cheap notes is just as fun as chasing rare and expensive notes.

This note was reportedly issued by Somalia Puntland. The Somalia Puntland, or also known as Puntland or Puntland State of Somali, is a semi-autonomous state and is considered as part of Somalia. Puntland was formed in 1998 and is located in the northeast part of Somalia or the Horn of Africa. The capital of Puntland is Garoowe situated in the Nugal region. With this semi-autonomous state created, it basically split Somalia into three regions. In the north of Puntland is Somaliland and in the south is the rest of Somalia. It is believed that ongoing conflict in the entire Somalia region is still happening with no sign of ending.
