Going through my collections of various coins, notes and oddities I’ve collected in my life travels i came across a packet from My African adventures 20 years ago.
We visited South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia over 3 weeks it was an amazing time filled with wildlife spotting, white water rafting at Vic Falls, swimming in the middle of Lake Kariba and a 3 day canoe safari on the Zambezi River. I remember that at the time the exchange rate was roughly 10 ZImbabwae Dollars for 1 Australian Dollar little did we know that hyperinflation would hit only a few years latter.
I wish I had one of the 1 Billion Zimbabwe Dollar notes to add to my collection.
Maybe one day these Zimbabwe notes and coins will be more treasure than trash.
Do you have any interesting currency collected on your travels?
