What does THEBE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A monetary unit of Botswana, worth one hundredth of a pula and used for its smaller coins.
The thebe is the smaller unit of Botswana's currency, functioning much like a cent does alongside a dollar, with one hundred thebe making up a single pula. Coins issued in various thebe denominations are used for everyday small purchases across the country. The name comes from Setswana, the country's main language, and the word appears on Botswana's coins alongside the larger pula denominations. Outside discussions of Botswana's currency and economy, the word thebe is rarely encountered in English.
