Nice idea but not sure how you would go about it. As you would need to take US$, exchange on the streets for new Zim$ and then somehow be able to officially exchange new Zim$ to US$ to pay for the ticket. To exchange officially at 1:1 you would need proof then I suppose that you legitimately earned the money in Zim, or proof that you officially exchanged it. Great idea, just not sure how you would work around it, but there probably is a way!
