The Nigerian naira is the official currency of Nigeria. The naira is noted by the ISO sign NGN and is subdivided into 100 kobo. Currency in Nigeria is issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The Nigerian Central Bank controls the entire volume of money supplied in order to ensure price stability and monetary stability. Nigeria’s Currency & Branch Operations Department within the Central Bank of Nigeria controls the procurement, reissue, withdrawal and disposal of bank notes and coins and the supply and distribution of all monies in the country.
The naira is issued in denominations of N5, N10, N20, N50, N100, N200 and N500. Nigerian coins are issued in denominations of N1 and kobo 1, 10, 25 and 50. The import of local currency is limited to N20 in banknotes and these must be declared upon arrival to Nigeria. The export of local currency is also limited to N20 in banknotes.

Those visiting Nigeria will need to exchange currency through moneychangers. There are many banks in the country but virtually none of them provide currency exchange. Moneychangers are found readily at a number of locations within the larger cities and are considered to be among the most honest in all of Africa. Many banks and certain retailers also offer Western Union branches for those who need to have money wired to them while visiting the country. ATMs are bountiful but most recommend avoiding their use due to the high level of theft throughout the country. Travelers’ checks are virtually useless in Nigeria as well. Those visiting will find it much easier to find a moneychanger in order to exchange foreign currencies for the naira.
