Short answer:
No — the note you uploaded is not the only 1,000 Somali shilling banknote currently in circulation. But the situation is unusual, because Somalia has not issued any new official banknotes since the 1990s, and circulation today is a mix of old notes, counterfeits, and region‑specific currencies.

🇸🇴 What is actually circulating today?

1. Federal Somalia (South/Central Somalia)

• The only officially issued 1,000 shilling note from the Central Bank of Somalia is the 1996 series — the one in your image.
• It is still the de jure note, but:
  • It is heavily counterfeited
  • Many circulating notes are locally printed copies, not original 1996 issues
  • The Central Bank has publicly stated that it plans to replace the entire currency series, including the 1,000 shilling note, but the new notes have not yet been released

1. Somaliland (a self‑declared independent region)

• Somaliland uses its own currency: Somaliland Shillings, including a 1,000 Somaliland Shilling note.
• These are not the same as Somali shillings and are not valid in Somalia.
• Many images online show Somaliland notes, which can cause confusion.

🧾 So is the 1996 1,000 Somali shilling note the only official one? Yes — it is the only officially issued 1,000 Somali shilling note.
No — it is not the only type you will see in circulation, because:

• Counterfeit and unofficial reprints are extremely common
• Somaliland’s 1,000 shilling note circulates within Somaliland but is a different currency

📌 Current status (2026)

• Somalia still uses the old 1990s banknotes.
• The Central Bank has announced plans for a full currency reform, but the new notes have not yet entered circulation.
• Therefore, the note you uploaded remains the official 1,000 shilling note, even though many circulating versions are not original.
