Zimbabwe Restarts Minting of Gold Coins as Bullion Prices Soar to Record - BLOOMBERG
By Ray Ndlovu
Zimbabwe’s central bank is again issuing gold coins it scrapped 10 months ago, a step it took to ramp up the bullion stockpile used to back up the local currency, the ZiG.
Minting of the so-called “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” 22-carat coins, named after the iconic Victoria Falls, was scrapped in July, central bank Governor John Mushayavanhu told Bloomberg in an interview at the time.
