![2. The new 2 and 5 Zimbabwe dollar notes and coins were scheduled to
start circulating on Monday but failed to appear on time, causing
confusion at banks. Shortages of cash, foreign currency, fuel and power
are the most visible signs of the southern African nation's worst
economic crisis since 2008, when hyperinflation forced the government
to ditch its currency.
3. Hundreds of people, mostly pensioners, queued for cash outside one
bank in central Harare on Tuesday and were issued 150 Zimbabwe
dollars ($10) of the new 2-dollar bills and coins. They were told to return

of fertiliser amid soaring inflation that economists estimate at 380%.

customers were already withdrawing the money. Central bank governor](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F82c5fa5b-27d6-4a59-a861-4d506a94d7b3%2F21c79f58-41eb-4aaa-93e8-3f1aabdaa694%2Fccvzp8r_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
