Investopedia explains 'ZWD (Zimbabwe Dollar)'
First introduced in 1980, the Zimbabwe dollar replaced the Rhodesian dollar at par. This made it worth more than the U.S. dollar, but the value quickly fell.
The Zimbabwe dollar was redenominated in August of that year at a rate of 1000:1 and was concurrently devalued against the U.S dollar by 60%.
In June of 2008, the exchange rate of the new Zimbabwe dollar was 6,164,500,000 Zimbabwe dollars per 1 U.S. dollar.
