Muhtasari
- Tanzania punishes defacement of the currency under section 332A of the Penal Code.
- Kenya polices it under section 367 of its Penal Code and has just warned the public against money bouquets.
- In Tanzania, people throw the 10,000-shilling note, the highest denomination, affectionately nicknamed Shuka la Masai, not the 1,000.
- Code § 333 prohibits defacing dollars, but only with “intent to render the note unfit to be reissued.” That single phrase is why Fat Joe and Lil Wayne faced no legal trouble for their Make It Rain video.
