Money: The unit of currency is the
Botswana Pula (BWP), which is divided into 100 Thebe. The word 'Pula'
means rain and 'Thebe' means shield. The shield appears on the national
coat of arms. Major credit cards are accepted widely, and travellers
cheques and foreign currency are accepted at most large hotels and
lodges. There are banks and exchange bureaux in all the main towns, as
well as ATM machines. Surcharges are often high on travellers cheques,
and it is best to carry cheques in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling.
