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.
About Afghan Afghani
The Afghan Afghani (AFN) is the official currency of Afghanistan, reintroduced in 2002 after decades of conflict and monetary instability. The new afghani replaced the old afghani at a rate of 1,000 to 1, successfully reducing the denominations in circulation. Da Afghanistan Bank is the central bank responsible for its issuance. The afghani has experienced significant volatility in recent years due to political instability and international sanctions. The currency is divided into 100 pul, though pul coins are rarely used in practice due to their negligible value.
