The coins are in values of (1 Cent, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 Cent, 1 Rand, 2, 5 Rand) but for every value they have 2 different coins! That is very disturbing for a foreigner especially because some of the smaller values are bigger in diameter and vice versa. Most of the south african shops will round the total price at the counter to 5 or 10 Cents. They will not accept the small coins!
The notes are in values of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Rand

20 Rand
50 Rand
100 Rand

New notes are issued since the beginning of 2005. The differ only a little from the old ones.
