This article is about the currency kwanza. For the African-American holiday, see Kwanzaa.
The (new) kwanza is the official currency of Angola as of 2000.
The new kwanza replaced the kwanza at a rate of 1 to 1000.
One new kwanza is equivalent to 100 centimos. Coins come only in 10 and 50 centimos, but as the value is small they aren't used any more. Banknotes are quite similar with only different colours separating them. They are denominated in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Kwanzas.
ISO currency code: AON, abbreviation also: Kz.
