Toffees are money!

The ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold) is legal tender in Zimbabwe. It was introduced a year ago, after the Zimbabwe Dollar hyperinflated. The exchange rate to the USD is 1:31 now. Prices in many shops are stated in USD and who is able to holds and uses USD .

There is one catch though: there are no USD coins in circulation. That’s why you’ll get something else as change; like these five toffees each for 5 cents that we (had to) accept today.
