Rwandan Franc, Rwanda Currency Exchange Rates
The Franc, RWF is the official currency of Rwanda.
The Franc was originally the currency of Rwanda at a time when Belgium ocuppied this territory. Rwanda’s own currency was introduced in 1964.
In 1964, notes of the Rwanda and Burundi Bank of Emission were overstamped for use in Rwanda alone. Denominations were 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 francs. These were followed by regular issues for the same amounts. 20- and 50-franc notes were replaced by coins in 1977, with 5,000-franc notes introduced in 1978. The nation’s first-ever 2,000-franc note was introduced in mid-December 2007.
