Investopedia explains 'NGN (Nigerian Naira)'

Before the naira, Nigeria used an undecimalized system of pounds, sterling and pence. The Nigerian naira replaced the old system in 1973 at a rate of 2:1. By 2008, inflation in Nigeria had dramatically devalued the currency and it was scheduled to be redenominated until this action was canceled by the country's president.
