About South African Rand (R)
The South African Rand (ZAR, ISO 4217 code 710, symbol R) is the official currency of the Republic of South Africa, eSwatini (Swaziland), Lesotho, and Namibia (operating under the Common Monetary Area / Multilateral Monetary Agreement since 1986), issued by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB, est. 1921). The Lesotho loti (LSL), Namibian dollar (NAD), and Swazi lilangeni (SZL) are all pegged 1:1 to the rand and freely accepted within South Africa. Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes: R10, R20, R50, R100, R200 (the current 'Nelson Mandela Centenary Series' introduced 2018 features Madiba portraits and 'Big Five' wildlife — buffalo, elephant, lion, rhino, leopard); coins: 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, R1, R2, R5. South Africa is the largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa and a member of BRICS — the country is a major producer of platinum (~70% of global supply), gold, palladium, manganese, chrome, and ferrochrome. SARB targets 3-6% CPI inflation band per the Monetary Policy Framework.
About Myanmar Kyat (K)

The kyat was introduced 1952 (replacing the Burmese rupee). Myanmar has experienced repeated military rule including the February 1, 2021 coup that ousted the elected NLD government of State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint. Following the coup, MMK has been highly volatile, with multiple parallel exchange rates and capital controls. The country is a major producer of rubies, sapphires, jade (the world's leading source of imperial jade), teak hardwood, and natural gas. International sanctions limit MMK convertibility.
