“Once known for its billion dollar notes and hyper-inflation, Zimbabwe must be the only place in the world to have eight currencies as legal tender – none of them its own.  For the last five years most people have been using US dollars or South African rand, but pula from Botswana and British pound sterling have also been changing hands.  Now the central bank is also allowing the use of Australian dollars, Chinese yuan, Indian rupees and Japanese yen.  For the moment, customers can open bank accounts in these currencies but the hard cash is not yet in circulation.”
