This coin was minted in 2003, but from the moment it was conceived and beaten, inflation made her totally obsolete. It has therefore not been in circulation at that time. In August 2008 Zimbabwe has revalued its currency for the second time by removing 10 zeros. As part of this reassessment, this piece in 2003 ($ 250,000,000,000 a value of the old currency) could finally be used.

These parts, however, circulated only briefly as inflation continued to increase and in a few weeks, the pieces were again worthless.
