Australian Dollar
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is the official currency of Australia and the fifth most traded currency globally. Introduced in 1966 to replace the Australian pound, the AUD was the first decimal currency in the Commonwealth. Like the Canadian Dollar, the AUD is a commodity currency — its value is strongly correlated with prices of iron ore, coal, gold, and agricultural products, which are Australia's major exports. The Reserve Bank of Australia manages monetary policy, and the AUD is also the official currency of several Pacific island nations.
South African Rand
The South African Rand (ZAR) is the official currency of South Africa and is also accepted as legal tender in Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia. Introduced in 1961 to replace the pound at decimal independence, the rand takes its name from the Witwatersrand ridge where South Africa's gold deposits were discovered in 1886. The ZAR is a commodity currency heavily correlated with gold, platinum, and mining sector performance. It is the most traded African currency and is sensitive to global risk appetite.
