About Kenyan Shilling
The Kenyan Shilling (KES) has been the official currency of Kenya since 1966, replacing the East African shilling used during the colonial period. The Central Bank of Kenya manages monetary policy. Kenya is the largest economy in East Africa and a regional hub for finance, telecommunications, and logistics. Major export earners include tea (Kenya is the world's largest exporter of black tea), coffee, flowers, horticulture, and tourism. The Kenyan shilling is divided into 100 cents.
About Kyrgyzstani Som
The Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS) has been the official currency of Kyrgyzstan since 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble following independence. The word "som" means "pure" in Kyrgyz and several other Turkic languages, historically referring to pure silver or gold. The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic manages monetary policy with a managed float regime. Kyrgyzstan is a Central Asian country with a landlocked mountain economy dependent on gold mining (the Kumtor mine is one of Central Asia's largest), remittances from workers in Russia and Kazakhstan, agriculture, and some manufacturing.
