What is the official currency of South Africa?
Answer
The rand
The name comes from the Witwatersrand, the ridge in Gauteng where the gold that built Johannesburg was mined. It replaced the South African pound in 1961, when the currency was decimalized into 100 cents rather than shillings and pence.
