Many emergency cheques were unused and canceled when the currency finally collapsed and the country adopted the US Dollar, GB Pound and South African Rand as day-to-day currencies.

In 2008 and 2009 the state’s central bank printed so much of its currency, the Zimbabwe dollar, that the country experienced mind-boggling hyperinflation that reached 500 billion percent. Immediately before the US dollar was formally adopted in February 2009, $1 could fetch you $35 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars.
