A Khovar report dated 30 October 2026 marks 26 years since the presidential decree that put Tajikistan’s national currency, the somoni, into circulation. The decree was signed on 26 October 2000, and the report links the banknotes to 30 October 2000. It says the banknotes are not only a means of payment but also reflect Tajikistan’s history, culture, achievements and national identity.
