The Rhodesian Dollar was the currency of Rhodesia, a former British colony in southern Africa, which is now known as Zimbabwe. It was introduced in 1970, replacing the Rhodesian Pound at a rate of 1 dollar for 2 pounds. The currency was used until 1980, when Zimbabwe gained independence and adopted the Zimbabwean Dollar. During its circulation, the Rhodesian Dollar faced significant inflation and economic challenges, particularly due to political instability and international sanctions. The currency was issued in both banknotes and coins, with various denominations reflecting the economic conditions of the time.
