Zimbabwe's brass-plated steel coinage of this period was a direct response to the hoarding and melting of earlier solid brass issues, whose intrinsic metal value had begun to approach face value as inflation accelerated. By 2001, the official exchange rate was already a fiction maintained by currency controls, and the Reserve Bank's switch to cheaper plated blanks bought only a short reprieve — within a few years, even low-denomination coins had been rendered economically irrelevant by hyperinflation measured in millions of percent.
