Description: This is a 20,000 Shilin note from Somalia that shows the National Theater and the Central Bank Building. This is an unissued note. According to BanknoteNews, "In the early 2010s, Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government ordered a new family of banknotes to be printed in Sudan, (presumably by Sudan Currency Printing Press, the state printer). By 2013, Somalia’s new federal government declared that the introduction of the notes was postponed until an unspecified later date, pending the strengthening of financial institutions in Somalia. It is unknown if Sudan had printed any notes for Somalia at this time. According to an article on Hiiraan Online dated 13 June 2018, Bashir Isse Ali, governor of the Somalia Central Bank, indicated that the government and the International Monetary Fund was preparing to spend $41 million to print new 5,000-, 10,000-, 20,000-, and 50,000-shilling notes with advanced security features. In earlier interviews he said 1,000- and 2,000-shilling notes were also being considered. According to an article on Hiiraan Online dated 20 March 2021, Abdusalam Omer Hadliye, a former governor (January to September 2013) of the Somalia Central Bank, said that huge amounts of Somali shilling notes remained in a Sudanese warehouse. He indicated the notes were printed by a German firm, (presumably Giesecke & Devrient) and have seven security features. In 2023, a civil war broke out in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Subsequently these unissued Somali notes began to appear scattered on the streets of Khartoum. Other denominations may exist, but have not yet been reported." These notes are nice, Uncirculated specimens. Not ones picked off the streets of Khartoum. DISCLAIMER: Scans are generic images of the note(s) in the description. You will NOT necessarily receive the serial number(s) pictured. If the prefix or serial number if important, please confirm it BEFORE buying, please. SPECIAL MENTION: Some notes such as window style Polymer Hybrids and those with heavy metal security strips always show some bubbling, or a dimple, at the top of the note at the strip. In the printing process, when the notes are run through high speed counters, a dimple is created where the strip is on the top of the note. This does not disqualify the note as UNC. Please be aware of this if you buy. IMPORTANT INFO: If the item is NOT Crisp Uncirculated, it will be stated in the additional information and the title state.
