关于 Botswanan Pula
The Pula was introduced in 1976, replacing the South African Rand at par. The move was a key step in asserting Botswana's economic independence.
The name 'Pula' means 'rain' in the Setswana language, as rain is very scarce in Botswana and therefore valuable. 'Thebe' means 'shield'.
