Zimbabwe Launches New Gold-Backed Currency | Vantage with Palki Sharma Zimbabwe has launched a new gold-backed currency called ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold). The move aims to stabilise the economy and tackle the sky-high inflation gripping the country. The new ZiG will replace the Zimbabwean dollar that had lost almost 100 percent of the its value. Zimbabwe’s Reserve Bank Governor John Mushayavanhu said Zimbabweans have 21 days to convert their old cash into new money. The new banknotes feature a drawing of gold ingots being minted, as well as Zimbabwe’s famous Balancing Rocks, which also appeared on the old ones. The new ZiG banknotes come in denominations between 1 and 200. --- Zimbabwe | New Currency | Gold-Backed Money | Zimbabwe Dollar | Economy | Firstpost | World News | Vantage | Palki Sharma #zimbabwe #newcurrency #goldbackedmoney #zimbabwedollar #economy #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
