Ugandan Money

Ugandan Currency

As well as small coins, Ugandan money comes in 1000/-, 2000/-, 5000/-, 10,000/-, 20,000/- and 50,000/- notes with 50,000/- being worth around £12.50. It's worth noting that whilst banks will normally issue 50,000/- notes, very few of the local shops can change that size of note so whenever you get hold of the smaller denominations treat them like gold dust! Also try not to run too low on money as there may be only one ATM locally and it could be out of money or the power is down.
