Encyclopedic overview
Zambian kwacha (sign: K; code: ZMW) is the official currency of Zambia, issued by the Bank of Zambia. It is subdivided into 100 ngwee. On 31 March 2025, the Bank of Zambia launched the new "Heritage Series"—a refreshed currency family of six banknotes (K10, K20, 50, 100, K200, K500) and six coins (5 ngwee, 10 ngwee, 50 ngwee, K1, K2, K5)—featuring enhanced security and national heritage themes.
