That is something I have been wondering. It does appear that I am missing the 2.5 cent for that year and that it was replaced by a coin on a earlier date.
The coins from an earlier time were re-instated with value back in August or so, but quickly lost value again as the new new super duper Zimbabwean dollar began it's descent into the abyss of valuelessness once again. Now they are back to issuing $10 Billion notes, next week they will issue $50 Billion notes etc.
Are the notes that Zimbabwe are using worth much in collector's eyes? I think I might have to find a few just to have.
I would wait a few months, the $100 Billion notes issued this summer were going for ridiculous prices like $80 each etc. on eBay, now they can be had for less than $5 if you look hard enough. Mugabe has achieved much in proving they should have never handed over rule to his ZANU-PF party back in 1980. He has singlehandedly destroyed one of Africa's breadbasket countries.
I was in Zim about a dozen years ago, before Mugabe trashed it, and have a whole bunch of coins. It was beautiful once...best pizza in Africa.
Great buy:thumb: I bought me Aruba and Nagorno Karabakh coin type sets for fraction of their catalog price this Christmas. I still havn't found a Rhodesian type set in decent grade for right price. Lucky you:bow:
Here's a Rhodesia Proof set from 1964 which I bought by mail from the Rhodesian government in 1964: The sets were made by the South Africa Mint in Pretoria, one of the few countries which had diplomatic relations with Rhodesia then. The coin obverses had Queen Elizabeth II on them.
look what i got in the mail last friday... i received this the other day in an ordinary mail envelop... and what a surprise! http://pinoycoincollection.blogspot.com/2008/12/errand.html
