| Additional information |
Malawi issued a series of football-themed 10 Kwacha pieces tied to the 2006 FIFA World Cup hosted in Germany — a tournament notable for being the first held in a reunified Germany and for producing the highest combined attendance of any World Cup to that point. These were not circulation issues in any practical sense; they entered the collector market almost immediately and saw no meaningful use as currency in Malawi, where 10 Kwacha held negligible purchasing power by 2006.
