List mainly from Roger Outings Paper Money Chronology Report

A lot of the paper money notes issued during this period were as a result of nations receiving their independence from the colonial masters, mainly nations in Africa. So there were quite a number of paper money issues during this period.

Nigeria for example had its Central Bank issue paper money notes firs in 1959, there was the £5 and £1 notes and then the 10 and 5 shilling notes. In 1965 new notes were issued to mark and represent the republic state of the nation, with "Federal Republic of Nigeria" written across the front of the notes. And then in 1968 due to the Nigeria/Biafra War the old notes were withdraw and a new set of notes were issued to move swiftly against anone who wanted to copy and counterfeit the paper money of the Nation.
