Zimbabwean Dollar

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Zimbabwean Dollar
The former currency of Zimbabwe. It replaced the Rhodesian dollar following (official) independence from Britain in 1980 and was used until extreme hyperinflation forced a change to a new currency code in early 2009 and was abandoned in April of that year. Its inflation rate in December 2008 was 6.5 x 10^108%.
