Well... it's not that simple in Zimbabwe. The Gold Coins they are issueing are of huge value, nothing for the people to use on a day to day basis. Just for wealthy ppl use as savings.
At the time of the launch on Monday, the cost of a Mosi-oa-Tunya coin was US$1,824 (£1,514).
"For the common man, there is not really much to benefit directly from this, especially if you don't have any excess cash," said Mr Chitambara.
"Many people have no money for bread, let alone for savings.
"The expectation is that indirectly it will benefit the ordinary person through moderating the prices."
