Fae_the_'briggs Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Following the death of Nelson Mandela the South African Government put forward a proposal to change the name of their main currency from the Rand to the Mandela. When a vote was taken however the result, by a small majority, was to keep the Rand. As a compromise the Government decided to mint a limited number of Nelson Mandela commemorative coins to hand out around various towns throughout the Country, but demand massively outweighed the number of coins available and there were near riots as people queued for their free Nelson Mandela. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
