Pound Sterling

The British pound sterling is the official currency of the United Kingdom and the fourth most traded currency in the world. Unlike the majority of European countries, the UK declined adopting the euro in 1999, and the pound continues to be an important currency benchmark for many nations.

South African Rand

The South African Rand, Zuid-Afrikaanse Rand (ZAR) in Dutch, is the legal tender in South Africa, but is also used in Swaziland, Lesotho and Namibia. The Rand was introduced in 1961 – the same year South Africa became a republic – to replace the South African Pound, in a move away from pounds, shillings and pence
