Zimbabwe Currency:
The
Zimbabwean Dollar (ZWD) is the title of the Country’s currency.
The currency was introduced in 1980 to replace the Rhodesian
Dollar when the country became independent. One Z$ is divided
into 100
cents.
The Z$ was at one time one of the strongest currencies
in the region (The Z$ was stronger than the US$ in 1980). The
currency
has steadily weakened over time and the government had to revalue
it in June 2006.
Presently (August 2006); US $ 1 is equivalent to Z$ 252.20;
1 British Pound was equal to Z$ 473.80; 1 Euro was equal to Z$
323.89.
