China's renminbi, literally the people's currency, was first issued on 1 December 1948 by the newly founded People's Bank of China, about a year before the People's Republic itself was proclaimed. The yuan is its base unit, much the way the pound is sterling's.

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.
