Since 1916, Rwanda was Belgian Congo franc. Buy coins of Rwanda, in those years, quite a great success. Following the Franco - Rwanda and Burundi, introduced in 1960, served as the currency is not so long: in 1964 it was replaced by the current Rwandan franc equal to one hundred centimes. But it is only nominally: the catalog of coins of Rwanda do not exist a bargaining chip. It includes 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Rwandan francs.

• the branch of a coffee tree five franc;
• banana bunch is located at 10 francs;
• tea tree – 20 francs;
