关于 South African Rand
The South African Rand was introduced in 1961, replacing the South African Pound as part of the country's decimalisation and its move to become a republic.
The name 'Rand' is derived from the Witwatersrand ('White Waters Ridge'), the elevated region in South Africa where vast gold deposits were discovered.
