Shillings remained in circulation alongside the 5p coins until 1990, when a new, smaller, 5p coin was produced.
Upon independence in 1960, the East African Shilling in the Northern Region of Somalia (former British Somaliland) and the Somali Somalo in the Southern Region (former Italian Somaliland) were replaced by the Somali Shilling.
Shillings were also issued in Australia and New Zealand before decimalisation in the 1960s, in Austria (Schilling) until the advent of the euro, in the Scandinavian countries (skilding) until the Scandinavian Monetary Union of 1873, and in the City of Hamburg.
