Zimbabwe's return to a domestic currency in 2019 was legally awkward — the RTGS dollar, introduced in February of that year, was initially maintained at a fictitious 1:1 parity with the US dollar before the central bank formally acknowledged the real market rate. This 2-dollar note entered circulation as part of that transition, replacing electronic bond notes that had themselves been a workaround to avoid admitting the country had been operating without a functional local currency since dollarization in 2009.
G+D's hybrid substrate was a deliberate choice given Zimbabwe's history of notes deteriorating rapidly in high-velocity circulation. The polymer-cotton composite extends note life without committing to full polymer.
