Currency Issue - Cannot Create or Select - Community Edition

Question

Hi guys,
Firstly I am a new user to Odoo, I recently downloaded and installed the Odoo onto my VPS.  What I am not currently facing is an issue with regards to setting my default currency to South African Rands (ZAR). When go to the currency Create / Edit and I try to Create the Currency (As only US, Pound and EUR is displaying) So I create the ZAR currency but it giving me an issue saying Currency Code must be Unique. However I do not find it anywhere on the list.
How would I resolve this?

To set your company currency you could do it in the company form, in the tab Configuration: delete the currency and just type ZAR to search for it. It's there loaded by the initial data of the base module.

currency which we have selected against a particular company would
also be used further for all transactions related to tha
