The '''kwanza''' ([[currency sign|sign]]: '''Kz'''; [[ISO 4217 code]]: {{ISO 4217|'''AOA'''}}) is the currency of [[Angola]]. Four different currencies using the name kwanza have circulated since 1977. The currency derives its name from the [[Cuanza River|Kwanza River]] (which is also written as: Cuanza, Coanza, Quanza).<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hy3Z8PyN5t0C&q=Kwanza+%3D%3D%5D&pg=PT268|title=The Last Train to Zona Verde: Overland from Cape Town to Angola|first=Paul|last=Theroux|date=30 May 2013|publisher=Penguin Books Limited|isbn=9780241965139|via=Google Books}}</ref>
