- Cupro-nickel 5-shilling coins were introduced in 1972, followed by scalloped, nickel-brass 10-cent coins in 1977. This First Series coins set, in circulation from 1966 to 1984, was designed by Christopher Ironside OBE.
- In 1987, nickel-clad steel replaced cupro-nickel in the 50-cent and 1-shilling coins, and cupro-nickel 5- and 10-shilling coins were introduced; the 5-shilling was octagonal.

Economy
- Zambia's economy has experienced strong growth in recent years, with real GDP growth more than 6% per year since 2005.
- Copper output has increased, thanks to copper mine privatization, higher copper prices and more foreign investment.
- Record high copper prices and a bumper maize crop in 2010 helped Zambia rebound quickly from the world economic slowdown that began in 2008.
- Poverty remains a significant problem in Zambia, despite its stronger economy. Almost 70% of Zambians live below the national poverty line (almost 80% in rural areas).
- Zambia ranks among the world's poorest nations in a variety of economic and social statistics and surveys: GDP per capita, competitiveness, life expectancy, infant mortality, and so on. A high birth rate and relatively high rate of HIV/AIDS put further strain on the economy.
History
- Zambia gained independence from Great Britain in 1964. In 1968, the Zambian Kwacha replaced the Pound at a rate of two Kwacha = 1 Pound.
- Kenneth Kaunda was the first president of Zambia in 1964, and stayed in office until 1991. During his regime, the value of the currency was fixed at a rate of approximately 1.2 Kwacha to 1 US Dollar. Until 1991, all Zambian banknotes featured a portrait of Kaunda on the obverse side (his image was later replaced by an African fish eagle).
- A severe economic crisis stemming from poor government oversight and overspending contributed to high inflation throughout the 1990s and 2000s. By 2006, it took 4,800 Kwacha to buy one US Dollar. The currency has more recently stabilized.
