Coins with its image have been minted continuously since 1967. Coin name created by combining the words "Kruger" with "Kruger". (from the name of the President of South Africa) and "rand", which is the name of the currency in South Africa. Krugerrands are produced by the South African Mint - Rand Refinery. They are legal tender, guaranteed by the South African government as to the legality, purity and origin of the metal. It is interesting that although Krugerrands are legal tender, they have no monetary value.
