Zimbabwe's $100 billion banknote with the number of eggs it could purchase on its release date

Early in the 21st century Zimbabwe started to experience hyperinflation. Inflation reached 624% in early 2004, then fell back to low triple digits before surging to 1,281.1% in December 2006. If policies do not change, the IMF has predicted an inflation rate of over 4000% for the year 2007.

The year 2007 has started badly as inflation reached another record high of 1729.9% in February. On March 19th, the IMF predicted that inflation will most likely hit 5,000% this year.

Currency Revaluation of 2006 (New Zimbabwe Dollar)

In October 2005, the head of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Dr. Gideon Gono, announced "Zimbabwe will have a new currency next year." New banknotes and coins were to replace the then current Zimbabwean dollar. Gono did not provide a name for this new currency.

In June 2006, Deputy Finance Minister David Chapfika stated that Zimbabwe had to achieve macroeconomic stability (i.e., double digit inflation) before any new currency was introduced.

On 31 July 2006, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe revalued the Zimbabwe dollar by one thousand to one. Thirteen new bearer cheques were issued and people were only given 21 days to exchange the old bearer cheques.At the same time, the Zimbabwean dollar was devalued by 60% and the new exchange rate set at 250 revalued dollars per 1 U.S. dollar.

The problem-ridden revaluation campaign, which Gideon Gono named "Operation Sunrise" was completed on 21 August 2006. It was estimated that some ten trillion old Zimbabwe dollars, about 22% of the money supply, were not redeemed during this redemption period (a nice windfall for the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe).

Other problems included, but were not limited to:

► Behavior by police and youth militias who set up roadblocks and seized currency beyond the daily deposit limits;

► Invasions of businesses and homes to seize cash;

► Shortages of the new bearer cheques (even at banks);

► Refusal of many businesses and people to accept the old bearer cheques;

► Chronic shortages of "small" bills to make change; and

► The rapidity of the change over, particularly for people in remote, rural towns where information on the changes was received too late to exchange their bearer cheques.

Most economists have blasted the move as merely political. They claim that without drastic changes in the policies of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, the zeroes will come back rapidly.

As people panicked to dump their old cash, the revaluation process drove up prices on the Zimbabwean Stock Exchange to levels that, while still below the 1,000% inflation, are the highest returns of any market in the world.

Yet another currency revaluation planned.

On December 12, 2006, Dr. Gono hinted in a memorandum to banks and other financial institutions that he would lay out the next phase of his monetary reforms dubbed Project Sunrise Two when he announces the monetary policy review statement in January 2007. It was not possible to get immediate confirmation from Gono's office whether the memorandum was an advise to banks that he would be launching the new currency in January. But the chief executive officer of one of the country's largest banks said industry players had understood the governor's memo to mean new money would be introduced next month. A possible name appears to be "ivhu", which means "soil" in Shona.

On February 2, 2007, it was revealed that a new (third) dollar would be released "soon", in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $100, $500, and $1,000. The $1 bill has an image of the Victoria Falls and a buffalo, the $5 the Kariba dam wall and an elephant, the $10 agricultural activity and a grain silo, the $20 portrait of a mine site and a mine with a jack hammer, $100 the botanic gardens and the Great Zimbabwe conical tower, the $500 a portrait of a dairy farm. No indications of what will be on the $1,000. However, given that inflation remains in the four digits, these banknotes are likely to remain in storage for the foreseeable future.

In February 2007, the central bank of Zimbabwe declared inflation "illegal", outlawing any raise in prices on certain commodities between March 1 and June 30, 2007. Officials have arrested executives of some Zimbabwean companies for increasing prices on their products. Economists generally suspect that such measures will be ineffective at eliminating the problem in the long term.

Bearer Cheques - NEW ZIMBABWE DOLLAR

Following the monetary reform of 1 August 2006 one new Zimbabwe Dollar is worth 1000 old Zimbabwe Dollars.

The banknotes marked ‘CENTS’ were printed on paper that was already in stock. The paper contains a watermark and was previously used to print the 500 Dollar banknotes issued in 2001. This explains the inclusion of a security strip and the number 500 inside the watermark. The cent banknotes are larger then the dollar denominated banknotes, measuring the same size as the old $500 note (154mm x 78mm), whilst the banknotes denominated in dollars are smaller (148mm x 74mm) which is the same size as the old fifty dollar banknote. Like the previous series of bearer cheques, the new series also bears an expiry date
