Money:

The official currency is the Zimbabwe dollar (ZWD), which issued in denominations of up to ZWD 100 billion. Foreign currency, especially US dollars, is hard to come by, but widely accepted and always preferred, and many prices are given in US dollars. Hard currency is required to pay for entry to Victoria Falls and many national parks. Banks and major hotels have foreign exchange facilities and many lodges, travel agencies and shops accept travellers cheques. Major credit cards, including Visa and MasterCard, are accepted in most hotels, restaurants and shops; Diners Club and American Express are sometimes not accepted. ATM facilities are available in the cities. For tourists US dollars should be considered the de facto currency of Zimbabwe.
