South Africa's Big Five
The Rand is the currency of South Africa. It takes its name from the Witwatersrand (White-waters-ridge in Afrikaans), the ridge upon which Johannesburg is built and where most of South Africa's gold deposits were found. It was first introduced in 1961, coinciding with the establishment of the Republic of South Africa.
South Africa’s current banknotes series has been in circulation since 1992. The big-five theme on our banknotes is a reflection of our African heritage whilst the economic sector themes on the reverse of the banknotes more specifically reflect South Africa.
The Rand replaced the South African pound in 1961 as legal tender. Available as 5 notes and 7 coins as of 2006. Minting of 1 and 2 cent coins was halted in April 2002. The ISO currency code is ZAR, and the usual notation is the prefix R. The plural of rand is rand, not rands. The rand was stronger than the US Dollar until March 1982. The strongest historic level was on 5 June 1973: R1 bought US$1.49992 The weakest historic level was on 21 December 2001: $1 bought R13.84 Like the United States dollar, it is colloquially called a buck and R1,000 is called a grand.

I always think that 2006 is my least favorite year, then I remember that 3 of my first 5 Pullips are from 2006 (Zuora, Cornice and Papin). So who knows.
