About Ugandan Shilling
The Ugandan Shilling (UGX) has been the official currency of Uganda since 1987 - a reissued version replacing the old shilling following monetary reform. The Bank of Uganda manages monetary policy with a floating exchange rate and inflation-targeting framework. Uganda is an East African nation with a growing economy based on coffee (one of the world's top producers of the robusta variety), fisheries, tourism (mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest), minerals, and oil reserves discovered in the Albertine Rift.
About South African Rand
The South African Rand (ZAR) is the official currency of South Africa, taking its name from the Witwatersrand (White Waters Ridge), the major gold reef that underpins the Johannesburg metropolitan area and made South Africa the world's leading gold producer for much of the 20th century. Introduced in 1961 when South Africa became a republic, the rand replaced the South African pound. The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) manages monetary policy with a floating exchange rate.
