Asked by Wiki User

Botswana coins in circulation (currently the 5thebe, 10thebe, 25thebe, 50thebe, 1pula, 2pula and 5pula) are approximately worth as follows:

To purchase 1US Dollar would cost between 7pula - 8pula

To purchase 1£ (GBP) would cost between 11pula - 12pula

Depending on the current exchange rate which can be confirmed at any forex bureau, bank or on a currency exchange website.

However, if it is a proof coin, which are not circulated and are collection items, it would be worth a lot more, depending on the proof. The very first Botswana coin (a proof) was issued in 1966 (when it achieved Independence from being a British Protectorate on 30/09/1966) and the very first circulated currency was issued in 1976 (between 1966 and 1976 Botswana used the South African currency).

What problems do people face in botswana?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

HIV and AIDS, frequently complicated by drug resistant tuberculosis. Malnutrition in times of drought, hydatid and parasitic illnesses, brucellosis, bilharzia, rickettsial illnesses etc. These problems are especially difficult for a pregnant woman and her unborn baby. Complicating things still further is that medical treatment is not free, and those who most need it are least likely to be able to afford it. Also, the country is huge and transport is a problem, so people who are ill in remote areas often do not see a doctor until it is too late for treatment. Several different churches are doing very good medical work there, but they seldom have much money to buy supplies, which limits what they are able to do.
