Gambia Coins

The official currency of The Gambia is the dalasi, which is divided into 100 bututs. Introduced in 1971, this currency has witnessed the economic history of the country since its independence from the United Kingdom.

Current currency in circulation

The Gambian dalasi is issued in bills of 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 100 and 200 dalasis. Coins in circulation include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 10, 25 and 50 bututs, as well as 1 dalasi. The Central Bank of The Gambia is responsible for the issuance and regulation of the currency, maintaining its stability in the international market.

Monetary history and relevant facts

Prior to the dalasi, The Gambia used the Gambian pound, which was in circulation from 1964 to 1971. A notable fact in Gambian numismatics is the issuance of commemorative coins, such as the series of silver coins launched in 1977 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the reign of Elizabeth II. In addition, in 2014, The Gambia introduced a new series of banknotes with enhanced security features and designs reflecting the country's culture and wildlife.
