Hmmm...thanks. However, I spent a long time looking and couldn't find anything. Not surprising, considering Rhodesia no longer exists...

A google for the motto:

SIT DIGNITAS EX UNITATE - may worthiness arise from unity.

To clear up the currency - they were on the pound sterling until '65 at which point they released their own currency - the Rhodesian Dollar:

Only 'til 65... scroll down the page

And of course - one might assume that Mr Smith here might be interested in the currency during his own rule which started in '64...
