All about South African currency

Step back in time with the South African Rand, born in 1961 to dethrone the South African Pound.

Inspired by the Witwatersrand (or “ridge of white waters”), where Johannesburg's gold rush glimmered, this currency proudly showcases South Africa's Big Five animals on its banknotes. It's more than just money—it’s a slice of South African history in your pocket!

ZAR notes and coins

Meet the stars of the South African Rand!

Banknotes range from R10 to R200, featuring majestic icons like the lion, rhino, and elephant.

Coins, from 10 cents to 5 Rand, are your perfect sidekick for everyday expenses. Who knew paying for parking could feel like a safari?

Fun facts about South African banknotes

Back in the 17th century, South Africa dabbled in paper currency with the Rixdollar, while global traders brought Spanish dollars, US dollars, and Indian rupees into the mix.
In 1826, the British gave the pound sterling a whirl, but it didn’t stick.
Fast forward to 1961, and the Rand rose as the champion currency!
Oh, and if you’re bringing in more than 25,000 ZAR or US$10,000, be sure to declare it—rules are rules, after all.
