About the Zimbabwe Gold
Zimbabwe's original dollar suffered one of the worst hyperinflations in modern history, peaking in 2008 when the central bank issued a 100-trillion-dollar note that was still barely enough for basic goods. The country abandoned its currency in 2009 for a multi-currency system dominated by the US dollar. Read the full Zimbabwe Gold history, denominations & FAQ →
