South African Currency

South African Currency is colorful and instead of displaying dead presidents it has wildlife much like Canadian Currency.  In fact, the five animals on the currency make up the famous Big Five. The interesting thing is that the size or power of the animal doesn't correspond to its value.  The mighty rhinoceros is pictured on the lowly 10 rand note.
