| Additional information |
Zimbabwe's bond coins were introduced in late 2014 as a stopgap after the country abandoned its own currency in 2009 following the hyperinflationary collapse that peaked with the hundred-trillion-dollar note. Officially pegged one-to-one with the US dollar, the bond coins were never legal tender outside Zimbabwe and quickly attracted a black-market premium as US dollar coins — which they nominally replaced in small-change transactions — disappeared from circulation through hoarding.
By 2016–2017, public trust in the parity claim was already eroding, anticipating the bond note crisis that would accelerate through 2018–2019.
