R500 ZAR is worth about $30.80 USD at today's mid-market rate. That is a modest sum: typically someone valuing money held in the local currency or a small transfer they have received, where today's rate decides what it is really worth. The rand free-floats and is one of the world's most-traded emerging-market currencies, so it reacts to global risk sentiment as much as to local news. The other way round, $1 USD buys about R16.23 ZAR today.
