Israeli New Shekel
The Israeli New Shekel (ILS) is the official currency of Israel, introduced in 1986 to replace the old shekel after hyperinflation. Managed by the Bank of Israel, the shekel has become one of the world's more resilient emerging market currencies, supported by Israel's strong technology sector — particularly cybersecurity, medical devices, and agriculture technology — and significant foreign direct investment. The shekel symbol (₪) combines the Hebrew letters shin (ש) and nun (נ).
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.
