About Tanzanian Shilling Exchange
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the official currency of Tanzania, one of East Africa’s most visited destinations, renowned for the Serengeti, Zanzibar, and Mount Kilimanjaro. We accept all denominations of Tanzanian Shilling banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Tanzanian Shilling Banknotes
The Bank of Tanzania issues a range of banknotes featuring wildlife and national landmarks that reflect the country’s natural heritage. We accept all current denominations, and unlike most high street exchanges, we don’t cherry-pick only the highest-value notes — whether you’ve come back with a handful of smaller notes or a mix of denominations, we’ll exchange the lot.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most currency exchanges, we also buy older withdrawn Tanzanian Shilling banknotes that are no longer in everyday circulation. Damaged notes are accepted too, provided they are at least 50% intact — something high street banks and post offices will typically refuse outright. The rate for old or damaged notes may be slightly lower than for current series, but we’ll always offer a fair price. If you also have leftover currency from neighbouring countries such as Kenyan Shillings or Ugandan Shillings, we can exchange those too.
Tanzanian Shilling Coins
We accept Tanzanian Shilling coins across all circulating denominations. Coins do attract a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but we’re happy to take them when most other services won’t. If you’ve returned from a broader African trip with a mix of loose change — including coins from countries like South Africa — we can help with those as well.
