Zimbabwe Currency and Money: |
Money: The official currency is the Zimbabwe dollar (ZWN), which is divided into 100 cents. The Government of Zimbabwe has recently devalued the Zimbabwe dollar and deducted three zeros from the currency; 220,000 old Zimbabwean dollars are now worth 220 new Zimbabwean dollars. Foreign currency, especially US dollars, is hard to come by, but widely accepted and often preferred, and many prices are given in US dollars. Hard currency is required to pay for entry to Victoria Falls and many national parks. Banks and major hotels have foreign exchange facilities and many lodges, travel agencies and shops accept travellers cheques. Major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club and American Express are accepted in most hotels, restaurants and shops. ATM facilities are available in the cities.
