The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has warned against the misuse of Kenya shilling banknotes, citing a growing trend in which currency is being used for decorative and celebratory purposes that damage notes and disrupt cash circulation.
In a notice issued on Monday, the CBK said it has observed increased use of banknotes in cash flower bouquets, ornamental displays and similar items, practices that involve folding, rolling, glueing, or pinning currency.
