| Additional information |
Uganda's wildlife coin series issued in the early 2000s was part of a broader East African trend of using circulating coinage for public education around endemic species. The 100-shilling denomination had been in continuous use since the 1990s, with the steel composition introduced as a cost-reduction measure following currency reforms prompted by years of inflation that had effectively rendered lower denominations obsolete.
