Currency

Patch
The following are scans of the currency we used while stationed at Kagnew and a look at the currency currently being used in Eritrea, known as the Nakfa. These are from my personal collection and I do not have all the denominations. If you have bills not included on this page please send me a note so we can get them all posted.

This page contains smaller thumbnails of the bills. Click on one to see a larger version and then use your "Back" button to return to this page.
