Photos of old naira notes, coins surface as citizens reminisce about the good old days

Following the scarcity of the new Naira notes in the country, photos of the old Naira notes and coins have surfaced.

Due to the unavailability of the new Naira notes, there has been chaos, confusion, fighting among citizens in the banks, ATMs and many other places.

Some have even resulted to using the POS machine in purchasing things as little as sugar cane.

However, this development has led people to reminisce about the old currency used by Nigerians for their day-to-day transactions.

Many remember how they could use the 50Kobo to purchase sachet water, N5 to buy biscuit and many more.

However, pictures of the old money used in Nigeria has emerged with many taking to social media to share their thoughts.

Nosirivi: Add the coins and 1 naira note to the pictures. Old school sweet...Abeg.

I miss the good old days, when 100 naira bread now was just 1 naira then, when 1 naira and 50 Kobo were notes and we spent 1kobo, 5kobo and 10 Kobo coins.

OKUSAJO: I pray @CBN introduces coins, 50kobo note, 10, 20 naira notes and withdraw 500&1000 notes from circulation. This will make naira gain locally and prevent the same old ways Naija dey stockpile naira. Alaafia
