Mu gice cya mbere cy’iyi nkuru twabagejejeho amafaranga yakoreshejwe mu Rwanda n’uko yagiye ahindagurwa mu myaka 20 ishize, ahabaye impinduka inshuro zirenga icumi. Mu gice cya kabiri, turakomeza n’amafaranga yakoreshejwe mu myaka 80 ibanza (1914-1994). Muri iyi nyandiko turahinira ku gihe cy’ubukoloni.

Hagati aho, mu nyandiko iheruka (igice cya mbere) icyo tutongeyemo, ni uko n’ibiceri bishya bya 50 byahinduwe inshuro eshatu. Byabanje gukorwa byanditseho Banki Nasiyonali y’u Rwanda, biza guhindurwa bishyirwaho Banki Nkuru y’u Rwanda, bihindurwa na none bigabanyirizwa ingano (size).

Igice cya kabiri: Amafaranga yakoreshejwe mu Rwanda mu gihe cy’ubukoloni

Abadage ni bo ba mbere bakoronije u Rwanda; Intambara ya Mbere y’Isi (1914-1918) yabakuye mu bihugu byose bari basanganywe. Ariko mu by’ukuri ntibakoronizaga bonyine, kuko n’abapadiri bera n’abandi bashakashatsi wasangaga bafite aho bahurira n’imiyoborere y’igihugu, kandi aba baturukaga mu bihugu binyuranye byo ku Mugabane w’u Burayi.

Mu gihe cy’Abadage nta mafaranga yakoreshwaga hagati y’abo n’Abanyarwanda nyirizina, kuko ntacyo bahahaga nabo, mu gihe Abanyarwanda bo bari basanzwe bakoresha uburyo bw’iguranagurisha (Commerce de Troc /Barter).

Iguranagurisha ryakorwaga abantu bahanahana ibyo bafite bikavunjwamo ibyo badafite. Ufite agatebo k’ubuyobe akagurana n’ufite ingemeri indwi z’ibishyimbo, utanze ukuguru kw’inka agahabwa ikibindi cy’umutsama…
