Zimbabwe Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Zimbabwe is a fascinating tale of hyperinflation and monetary change. Since its independence in 1980, the country has undergone several transformations in its monetary system, reflected in the evolution of its banknotes.
Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, Zimbabwe mainly uses foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the South African rand. However, in 2019, the Zimbabwean dollar was reintroduced with new $2, $5, $10 and $20 bills. These bills feature modern designs with cultural and natural elements of the country, such as the Zimbabwe monument and indigenous animals.
Old banknotes and the hyperinflation era
Zimbabwe's hyperinflation era produced some of the highest denomination banknotes in history. In 2008, the infamous Z$100 billion bill was issued, which had hardly any real value. Other notable bills include denominations of millions and billions. This era culminated in 2009 with the abandonment of the national currency and the adoption of foreign currencies, marking a significant milestone in the country's notability.
