The Favorable Currency in Zambia

Zambia's currency is known as the Kwacha and Ngwee (where 100 Ngwee is equal to K1). Zambia presently issues six banknotes and four coins. The Zambian kwacha was introduced to replace the Zambian pound in 1968. The design of the kwacha bill evolved over time, and numerous banknotes were introduced or withdrawn from circulation. There are seven known emissions of the first kwacha, whereas only one emission of the second kwacha was placed into circulation on January 1, 2013, and has been in circulation since then with no modifications in design or security measures. Each emission shares similar general design aspects throughout all banknotes, with minor differences in colors and the activity-based subject on the back of the banknotes.

You will most likely dislike carrying a money that will make it difficult for you to transact in Zambia. The South African Rand has been the most convenient money to carry and use in Zambia for a long time. It is the only currency in Zambia where you can exchange money without having to pay a minimum amount. If you want US dollars, you will be required to furnish a minimum amount before your money may be exchanged.
