South Africa launched a
new line of bank notes
Saturday bearing the
image of its first
democratically elected
president Nelson Mandela
on the 22nd anniversary
of his release from prison.
The announcement pays
tribute to the legacy of a
Nobel Peace Prize-winner
known as one of the
world's greatest
statesmen.
But it will likely be met
with some derision when
markets re-open Monday
after officials' billing of the
secretive unveiling as an
"announcement of
national importance" sent
the rand and stock
markets on a downward
spike Friday
