The kip (Lao: ກີບ) is the currency of Laos since 1952. One kip is divided into 100 att (ອັດ).
In 1945-1946, the Free Kip government in Vientiane issued a series of paper money in denominations of 10, 20 and 50 att and 10 kip before the French authorities took control of the region. The kip was reintroduced in 1952, replacing the French Indochinese piastre at par.
