Zim Dollar To Return Says Emmerson Mnangagwa |
But, he said, conditions had to be right before foreign currencies were replaced once more by the Zimbabwean dollar.

In 2009, wracked by hyper-inflation, Zimbabwe dumped the local dollar and adopted the US greenback and other foreign currencies, including the South African rand.
