Zimbabwe has used the U.S. dollar since 2009 to substitute its own failed money, the Zimbabwe dollar.

The dollar is used as the official currency in other countries, as well. El Salvador, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the islands of the Caribbean Netherlands—Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba—all use the dollar as their official currency.

Zimbabwe has been using the US dollar since 2009 when the use of the Zimbabwean dollar was abandoned.

For the last five years most people have been using US dollars or South African rand, but pula from Botswana and British pound sterling have also been changing hands.

Currently most shops in the capital, Harare, mark prices in US dollars.
