The Zimbabwe regular banknotes feature an image of the Chiremba balancing rock formation - three balancing rocks that are in Matobo National Park. The image of the stones was chosen as a metaphor for balancing development and environmental protection following the country’s transition from white-ruled Rhodesia to the majority black ruled Zimbabwe. The Matobo Hills are composed entirely of granite and it makes for some really unique and interesting formations.

It is interesting to note that the highest "Billion" denomination is 50 Billon dollars, and the lowest "Trillion" denomination is 10 Trillion Dollars. There is no 100 Billion. There is no 200 Billion. There is no 500 Billion. There is no 1 or 5 Trillion banknote. By this point in time the inflation situation had gotten so far out of control that they had to skip all of that and go right for denominations of 10 to 100 Trillion dollars. As a result, from ZIM87 to ZIM88 the face value of the note j... | Owner's Description:
