In the heart of South Africa lies the state of Botswana. Relatively recently – in 1966 - it became a sovereign. Land the country is not particularly lucky: a significant part of its territory is the Kalahari desert. But with minerals is much more fortunate: there is gold, oil, diamonds, Nickel, lead, copper, and more. But, of course, the development of the diamond determines the economic development of the country.

Catalogue of the coins of Botswana offers 1, 2 and 5 pula and 5, 10, 25, 50 thebe. Inflation in 2005 has somewhat shaken the stability of the Botswana Pula, but today, it is an example of a solid currency. Although the cost of Botswana coins and banknotes decreased slightly.
