1 Somali Shilling = 0.00071 US Dollars as of 8/1/2008 so.. 5 shillings x 0.00071 = 0.00355 US Dollars. The Currency of Somalia has devalued to almost nothing since there is no longer a central government. This coin ( assuming it is the FAO Elephant design) has not been found to circulate in the country anyway, so its country of origin is unknown Source : http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/Africa/somalia/currency.htm and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia_Currency 1 Somali Shilling = 0.00071 US Dollars as of 8/1/2008 so.. 5 shillings x 0.00071 = 0.00355 US Dollars.

The only official institution to print banknotes and mint coins is the Central Bank of Somalia. But several business men printed thousands of wrong banknotes and coins the last years without an authorisation. A few Canadian guys imported Millions of banknotes into Somalia , - wrong banknotes. You will find a lot of collector "coins" from "Somalia" in the world, - all of them with years after 2001 are FALSE, minted without any authorisation. You will find a lot of coins with elephants, in silver, gold and copper, all year dated 2001 and later coins are private issues, not legal tender in Somalia.
