Tags: Currency.

The pula is the currency of Botswana. It has the ISO 4217 code BWP and is subdivided into 100 thebe. Pula literally means rain in Setswana because rain is very scarce in Botswana — home to much of the Kalahari Desert — and therefore valuable. Pula also means blessing as rain is considered a blessing. Thebe means shield.
