- From article <1993Jan28.152758.16160@mfltd.co.uk>, by nmp@mfltd.co.uk (Nic Percival (x5336)):
- :
- : I got a foreign coin in a load of change exactly the same size as a pound
- : coin. Same colour too.
- : Its called 'One Lilangeni', and its from Swaziland. Anyone know if its
- : worth anything (I suspect its worth considerably less than a pound, but
- : you never know, it might be worth nothing.)
- : Something else about it, is its double headed.
-
- According to the CIA World FactBook, it's pegged at par with the South
- African Rand, and was worth about 20p in January 1991. BTW, the plural
- is 'Emalangeni'.
