I got this and a few other Tanzanian coins from my uncle when he went to Tanzania. If I recall correctly he went to climb Kilimanjaro, or at least some of it. He said that he was literally being handed back fist fulls of change in shops because they are trying to phase out the coins and use bills more. They managed to get this and some others out of circulation and I got a few more foreign coins so I'd say this is a win-win. It would be even more of a win if it was worth more than $0.05, but it's better than nothing.
