Where I am staying, all pricing is in US$, so will see on Friday when I check out, what my final bill will be.

So, if the current trend continues, just use plastic to pay where you can.
So in the news today Mnangagwa has announced they are to start printing bigger notes.

Let's hope they make an early start on the trillions....
