Very few countries today use shillings as their currency. As of 2010 the only major countries to use that denomination are in Africa - Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. In addition the 3 countries value their shillings differently so they're not interchangeable.

At one time the shilling was an important money unit in many countries of the British Empire, including Britain itself, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and others. Today Britain uses decimal pounds, independent Ireland uses the euro, and the others use their own dollars.

Austria used currency called the schilling (pronounced similarly) until it adopted the euro in 2002.

Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania and Uganda currently use the Shilling as their major unit of currency since decimalisation or their respective currencies.

Britain and most of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries used the Shilling as a subunit of currency until their respective decimalisations.
