The currency was introduced in 1993 to replace the South African Rand as part of Namibia's independence from South Africa in 1990.

For example, if you have 2 ounces of palladium at a price of ＄2,000 per ounce, with a USD to NAD exchange rate of 16, the conversion would be:

Amount in NAD = 2 × 2000 × 16 = 64000 NAD
