wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 03/20/2017 09:34 am Here are two S.A. banknotes issued during 50s and 60s, one is a 5-Rand note and the other a 10-Rand note. Interestingly, the are of same size, same color and same pictorial design. How could you imagine when they were being circulated, people holding these currency must feel tedious and caused many troubles in daily money exchange. Was it a very wrong design? How do you think?
