Brian34Jersey Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 5:23 pm Apparently a month ago Zimbabwe came out with new coinage. For the not informed due to hyper inflation the Zims stopped printing money after their famous 100 trillion dollar bill which later became a popular collectors item. Will these new Zim coins be the next rage? http://www.iol.co.za/business/inter....VNPsPIY8LCQ * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 5:37 pm I think lollipops, chewing gum and pens would be a more practical small change currency for Zimbabwe, and apparently, the country's residents think so as well. Hopefully, sometime in the not too distant future, things will be better for Zimbabwe after Mugabe dies. I also hope that the post Mugabe power vacuum does not lead to violence.

SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 5:51 pm Ironic I come across this thread as soon as I'm done perusing through the latest #MugabeFalls. Perhaps it's an omen for the currency? :-) Report this Post to the Staff

Brian34Jersey Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 7:58 pm They were having a shortage of change a couple of years back. And as I understand it we sent a container ship over there full of US change. Maybe they need more change? Or they don't want US change? There were giving out pencils gum and candy as change at one point I bet those suckers feel like cheap poker chips Edited by Brian34Jersey 02/05/2015 8:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5174 Posts	Posted 02/06/2015 12:55 am I actually saw the poor things on Numista yesterday (I think I wanted to find if there were any Zimbabwean coins issued for the intermediate dollars). For a few minutes I was sure they were some kind of fantasy tokens that somehow found their way on the regular country page. Apparently not... they still look weird (as if "Bond Coin" is some kind of a new crypto-currency). I've heard of Zimbabwe's change problem long ago though... didn't know there was nothing done about it until so recently. Report this Post to the Staff
