Bank Al-Maghrib, Morocco's central bank, introduced the dirham in 1960, a few years after independence from France. It replaced the Moroccan franc, which did not vanish overnight: francs kept circulating alongside the new money until 1974, at 100 francs to the dirham.

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.
