One 1GBP will get you 14.283 ZAR. To put it in perspective, a Wilderness System Tempest 180 pro retails for about ZAR25 000. That is the only comparison I can give because there are no UK boats available here due to insane exchange rate and import taxes. In our case the rocks are often worth more than the coins ;) You can always come visit South Africa :) Consider this, 1US$ will get you 6.8587 South African Rands. One 1GBP will get you 14.283 ZAR.

Thanks. :) Yeah, I'd check the price out. Each UK company is handling things a bit differently. I think a few are just taking most of the loss to stay competitive in the US market. I seem to remember that being part of the problem with NDK a couple years back too. LOL! Thanks. :) Yeah, I’d check the price out. Each UK company is handling things a bit differently.

As far as pictures of money on rocks go. Not looking like a good time to try that Chillcheater Tuiliq I wanted though. : ( Daft or not, it’s a nice picture of money on a rock.
