Each Kenyan shilling can be divided into 100 cents, though due to inflation there is only one denominated coin valued in cents currently in circulation and even that coin is very rarely seen used in transactions. This smallest smallest denomination of coin for the KES is the 50 cent coin. Other coins in issuance by the Central Bank of Kenya are denominated as 1, 5, 10 , 20 and 40 shillings. Banknotes in circulation currently are denominated as 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 shillings.
The Central Bank of Kenya attempts to keep a tight control of the exchange rate of the KED amongst other international currencies and has a secondary target of Kenyan price stability. To this end they have been relatively successful with a current inflation rate of only 3.2%. They have also proven their astuteness in their adept monetary policy reactions to recent challenges to the currency given commodity price swings. Both instances show the stability of the currency and effectiveness of the Central Bank of Kenya.
