Converting from Botswana Pula (BWP) to Russian Rouble (RUB)

What is Botswana Pula (BWP)

The Botswana Pula (BWP) is the official currency of Botswana, a landlocked country in Southern Africa. The term "Pula" translates to "rain" in Setswana, symbolizing the importance of rain for agriculture and life in the region. Introduced in 1976, the Pula replaced the South African Rand, which was previously used in Botswana.

The currency is further subdivided into 100 thebe. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 thebe, as well as Pula coins of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 Pula. Banknotes come in 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Pula denominations. The Pula has gradually gained strength against other currencies, thanks in part to Botswana's stable economy, prudent fiscal policies, and mining resources, particularly diamonds.
