For many rural small traders, the one shilling coin no longer counts

Fanuel Omung’ala has been stocking one shilling coins in his house for the past six months.

Mr Omung’ala, a pastor in Luanda in Western Kenya, says he has decided to keep the pennies because no shopkeeper accepts them. He says six months ago , a storekeeper turned him away when he went to buy bread and a packet of milk.
