Uganda first issued its own shilling in 1966 through the Bank of Uganda, replacing the East African shilling at par. Runaway inflation later forced a reset: in 1987 a new shilling replaced the old at 100 to 1, and that is the currency used today.

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.
