There are some things money cannot buy in Zimbabwe.
For everything else, there's Mastercard*.
*With effect from 1 January 2007 MasterCard transactions are no longer accepted in Zimbabwe. Only VISA, DINERS and AMEX cards are accepted. Clients are advised settle accounts in foreign currency i.e. SA Rands or U.S. Dollars. Clients to carry small denominations of bank notes as change will be given in Zim Dollars.

Situation in Zim is really sad: i was reading how a Harare-Johannesburg return air ticket cost Z$14.1 billion and Harare-Beijing ZW$81.7 billion.
I guesss after Mugabe, they'll have to abandon that currency, bankrupt everyone (they already are anyway) and start afresh
I'd always dreamed of being a millionaire in dollar terms. Never occurred to me Zimbabwean dollars could make me a zillionaire, any day!
Banks, The biggest tragedy is that other African countries are doing little to help Zimbabwe.
PKW, very soon they'll run out of zero's.
Have they abandoned computers for financial transactions already?
The computer will send every transaction for a manager's approval.
Some of it even go to the CEO.
