With security features such as a watermark, colour changing ink, hidden image and tiny lettering only visible to a careful eye - the app shows what to look for in genuine banknotes and coin.

2. Learn about money and the economy

Tackle big questions about the economy. What does the Reserve Bank do? Why does the value of the Rand keep changing? What do I do when I have damaged banknotes? Learn and discover.

3. Play the "ZAR Mania" game

Level up your business by managing it through changes in the economy. Balance supply and demand to maximise your profit! When serving customers it's speed and accuracy that counts, but watch out for invalid banknotes.
