Use of the Zimbabwean dollar as an official currency was effectively abandoned on 12 April 2009. It was demonetized in 2015, with outstanding accounts able to be reimbursed until April 30, 2016.
Wow.. That's an impressive collection! What are the Legends section about? Were those soccer players? Haha I also noticed you wear your ring on your middle finger. If you look at my picture in my 1st post you can see that I do also!
The Legend is George Best, probably one of the greatest footballers ever He played for Manchester United which has the largest fan base in the world, he didn`t get a lot of international coverage because he represented Northern Ireland. When he quit the high profile game he played for a few US teams, LA Aztecs, Fort Lauderdale Strikers, San Jose, etc I don`t normally wear jewellry but I now have a ring on each middle finger, one is my grandfathers and the other is my Dads, my Dad is 97 and the rings were getting tight for him, so he gave them to me.
George Best may have been a good soccer player but I think his personal life was more legendary. Regardless, I'm not sure I agree with him being on a banknote. Surely Northern Ireland could do better than that.
From being a 17 year old he was their hero, especially when all the other news was the troubles and the bombing and killings. I don`t think anyone was more famous in NI. I was not a supporter of his team but I saw him play and he was a magician, I`ve seen Pele,Cruyff, Maradona, Greaves and non were as talented as him. He was an alcoholic, unpredictable, tainted but magical.
Going slightly OT. Talking about people on banknotes, the RBS put Jack Nicklaus on their £5 note, the first foreigner depicted on a British banknote. Note the Golden Bear on the front and his initials in the serial number JWN
There is a Pizza Shop here in NYC that the owner has foreign paper currency from many countries taped or hanging from his soda fridge..Here is the picture -
I am glad the shipping is free. At that price, the seller ought to hand deliver anywhere in the world.
