RIP leader of Zimbabwe. Surely some Soros controlled country will find a reason to start a war or insurrection and take out the Government of Zimbabwe and then confiscate all of this gold.
The coins, which have a purity of 22 carats, will be priced based on the international market rate for an ounce of gold, plus 5% to cover production and distribution.
But that price could put them out of reach for many people in a country so poor that a third of the population is at risk of food insecurity.
This is a common problem with hard currencies. It's usually solved by using multiple metals in the currencies; the US used gold, silver and copper. This causes problems when the metals are arbitraged against each other though.
This might be alleviated by using a paper carrier with encapsulated gold foil added for small bills. Another solution might be a simple paper currency, backed by the metal - but again, this requires trust in the government that they won't print more than they hold.
Now rename the country to Rhodesia and hand free land and citizenship to all Whites who apply.
That would he the quickest way to end their hunger there.
