The currency in South Africa is the Rand
-----
It is named after a hilly ridge where enormous quantities of gold were found in the late 1800s. The word Rand comes from the Dutch "randt" which means ridge.
The word Dollar also comes from a geographical feature. German "thaler" means valley, and it is thought that the Dollar is named after the valley "Joachim's Thaler", where there were extensive silver mines.
