Today's note may have come from the pockets of pirates! Somalia, the Somali Democratic Republic comprising the former Italian Somaliland, is located on the coast of the eastern projection of Africa. With it's unstable government, rampant inflation and lawlessness has caused piracy to become a growing global concern for the shipping industry and now cruise lines.

Today's note is a 1991 issue of the Somali 50 Shilling.
