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.

Have you ever tried paying a shop with USD coins?

Never tried, never heard of, I assume it won’t be accepted as there are no coins in circulation and therefore they would be rendered worthless.
