Naira coins are no longer in circulation in Nigeria after due to their diminished value and inflation.
CBN last issued new coins in 2007 with N2 being the highest naira denomination in coin. That year, ₦1 and 50 kobo, which were coined in 1991, were reissued in new designs.
₦1, 50 kobo, 25 kobo, 10 kobo and 1 kobo coins were introduced in 1991 while 1/2 kobo and 5 kobo coins were phased out in that year.
1 kobo, 10, kobo and 25 kobo coins were discontinued in 2007.
