Comment
All 1999-2002 (and all later) issues are not official Somali issues. Current central bank correspondence confirms the information, widespread in numismatic community ever since these appeared on the market, due to unstable situation in Somalia. None of these coins ever saw Somalia and as such not even meant to be circulation coins. Last coin for circulation in Somalia was issued in 1984.
Interesting fact
The 10 Shillings (FAO) 1999-2002 coin from Somalia made of Aluminium weighing 1.4g is interesting because it is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as a regular currency, but rather as a collector's item or for commemorative purposes.
