East African Currency Board
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The East African Currency Board (EACB) supplied and oversaw the currency of British colonies in East Africa from 1919 to 1966. It was established after Britain took control of mainland Tanzania from Germany at the end of World War I, and originally oversaw the territories of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania (excluding Zanzibar). Zanibar joined the currency area in 1936. The Board was replaced by the independent central banks of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania in 1966.
