Zimbabwe introduces $500 million note
Current World News Comments (0)
Zimbabwe’s central bank is introducing a $500 million note – the highest current denomination – as the once-prosperous southern African nation battles against spiraling hyperinflation.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) last week introduced a new set of denominations, including a $100 million note, but that has not helped to clear long lines for cash at banks. Some people sleep outside banks after failing to get cash.
The RBZ said a $200 million note would be in circulation Friday, together with the $500 million note.
