Political and Financial Issues : Zimbabwe's political and economic instability during this period meant that the country was unable to sustain long-term contracts with major international currency printers like De La Rue. They turned to other printing solutions to get currency quickly and at a lower cost.
Currency Collapse : The Zimbabwean Dollar went through several redenominations, and in 2009, it effectively collapsed and was abandoned as the country switched to using foreign currencies (like the US Dollar) to stabilize the economy. This made the use of De La Rue redundant in Zimbabwean currency production at that time. In summary, De La Rue wasn't involved with Zimbabwean Dollars due to the country's urgent need for mass production of currency during a period of hyperinflation, limited resources, and ongoing economic challenges.We want to clarify that Banknote World is not an official authority on Zimbabwean currency. The reality is that Zimbabwe's banknotes were printed at different times, using different presses, in different countries, and even utilizing a mix of mechanical and digital printing methods. Naturally, this results in slight variations in features such as alignment, coloration, and security strip placement. Banknote World deliberately capitalizes on these natural anomalies to create fear and uncertainty, pushing buyers toward their own overinflated prices.
