A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

South Africa: One Rand for one Dollar.
How do you expect the rest of the world to “just know” that R1 is Rand?
Off topic, but that’s just as much a problem with the ignorance of the “rest of the world” as it is OP’s harmless assumption
Perhaps, but one can't expect to know the nicknames of every currency in the world, and what the exchange rates are vs. every other currency, etc. OP could have said that they were from SA, and that was one of the things driving their decision.
This is why it's useful to use standard abbreviations for currencies (ISO 4217). For the South African Rand, it's ZAR.
disappointed it's not R&
