Afghanistan Islamic republic era metallic coins and Bank notes (2001 till now)

Before 2001 Afghanistan was economically very weak due to some reasons. Printing and issuance of money was performed regardless of demand and economic development of country which caused continuous decrease of money value and purchasing power of people and finally led to high inflation rate in the country.

After establishment of interim Administration in 2001 for the purpose of eliminating  the  problems, Da Afghanistan Bank according  to decree number 142 dated  12  Mizan  1381 HS  printed and  substituted new banknotes in place of old ones. Initially the banknotes 1,2 and 5  Afghani were printed and issued alongside the  banknotes of 10,20,50,100,500 and 1000 Afghani but at a later period  coins 1,2 and 5 Afghani were also minted.
