The pula is a currency in use in Botswana. Pula literally means "rain" in Setswana, because rain is very scarce in Botswana, home to much of the Kalahari Desert. The pula is divided into 100 thebe (lit. "shield").
Banknotes: P10, P20, P50, P100
Coins: 5t, 10t, 25t, 50t, P1, P2, P5
Despite a 12% devaluation in May 2005, the Pula remains one of the strongest currencies in Africa.
