Zimbabwe abandoned its own dollar in 2009 after inflation rendered it arithmetically useless — at its peak, the central bank was issuing hundred-trillion-dollar notes. The country then operated on a basket of foreign currencies for nearly a decade. This shilling denomination issued in 2018 is part of a series of collector pieces produced under licensing arrangements, carrying a face value in a currency unit Zimbabwe does not actually use domestically.
The Eurofighter Typhoon itself entered RAF service in 2003, developed under a four-nation consortium — UK, Germany, Italy, and Spain — after a procurement process that stretched across the Cold War's end.
