South Africa introduced the rand in 1961, three months before declaring itself a republic, replacing the pound at two rand per pound. The name comes from the Witwatersrand, the gold-bearing ridge Johannesburg sits on (rand is Afrikaans for ridge). The South African Reserve Bank issues it.

Uganda first issued its own shilling in 1966 through the Bank of Uganda, replacing the East African shilling at par. Runaway inflation later forced a reset: in 1987 a new shilling replaced the old at 100 to 1, and that is the currency used today.
