    Solution

    Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe was a period of currency instability that began in the late 1990s. During the height of inflation from 2008 to 2009, it was difficult to measure Zimbabwe's hyperinflation. In 2009, Zimbabwe stopped printing its currency, with currencies from other countries being used. In mid-2015, Zimbabwe announced plans to have completely switched to the United States dollar by the end of 2015.
