The East African shilling was the sterling unit of account in British-controlled areas of East Africa from 1921 until 1969.[1] It was issued by the East African Currency Board. It is also the proposed name for a common currency that the East African Community plans to introduce.

The shilling was divided into 100 cents, and twenty shillings were 1 pound.
