Both articles should not be merged

Both articles should not be merged, as the South African Republic existed long before the unification of South Africa in 1910 - (202.180.98.82 16:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC))Reply

I've read that all South African Rand minted to date remain legal tender. Is that also valid for the 1/2 cent coin? 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 13:05, 15 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I see no reason why it should not still be legal tender. Section 19 of the Reserve Bank Act 90 of 1989 provides the minister with authority to withdraw coins from circulation, but the act does not provide him with the power to remove legal tender status from any coins. Section 15 of the same act even includes a conversion table for pre-decimal coins:
Coin in circulation under the designation of- Value in rand and cent:
Pound/sovereign Two rand
Half-pound/half sovereign One rand
Crown Fifty cents
Half-crown Twenty-five cents
Florin Twenty cents
Shilling Ten cents
Sixpence Five cents
Threepence Two-and-a-half cents
Penny Ten-twelfths of a cent
Half-penny Five-twelfths of a cent
Farthing Five twenty-fourths of a cent

Rounding

"Minting of the 5c coins ceased on 1st of April 2012, which meant that all transactions were then rounded to the nearest 10c.[5]" This isn't true. The 5c piece remains legal tender, and has not been removed from circulation. Some cash transactions are rounded to the nearest 10c, but many do not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.227.166.135 (talk) 18:16, 28 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
