The pound was the currency of Malawi until 1971. From 1932, Malaŵi (then Nyasaland) used the Southern Rhodesian pound. In 1955, a new currency was introduced, the Rhodesia and Nyasaland pound. This was replaced by the Malaŵian pound in 1964, following Malaŵi's independence. The pound was replaced by the kwacha in 1971, at a rate of 2 kwacha = 1 pound.
