The Namibian Dollar (abbreviated N$) is the national currency of Namibia, adopted in 1993. Previously, the country had used the South African Rand, a legacy of South African rule. The Rand is still legal tender, as the Namibian Dollar is linked to the South African Rand and can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis locally. Namibia is also part of the Common Monetary Area, along with Lesotho and Swaziland.
The Bank of Namibia issued the first banknotes on 15 September 1993, and during December of that year, also issued the first national coins.
As of January 6 2005, there were 6.11000 Namibian dollars to the US dollar
