As a member of Manchester City Library, I have access to all of the Oxford reference works online. (TTOTD: I believe anybody can become a member, and you can sign up online, and they'll post you your library card.)
It seems vague. They don't directly mention a plural, although the quotations they provide do use "Krugerrands", although they're from publications I wouldn't trust to get it right, either :) The Oxford books specialising in economics and business are equally silent on the matter.
Perhaps we should ask one of the Ubuntu folk to ask Mark Shuttleworth? :)
<cjwatson> sabdfl: a friend of mine was wondering in blog comments what the plural of "Krugerrand" is, and suggested "Perhaps we should ask one of the Ubuntu folk to ask Mark Shuttleworth?" <cjwatson> can you oblige? :-) <sabdfl> Krugerrands <sabdfl> Although they are usually written as "Kruger Rands" <sabdfl> took a few to space as presents for the other crew
