Zimbabwe's central bank will issue small gold coins for affordability by ordinary Zimbabweans.

'Following the successful launch of the gold coins on 25 July 2022 and in response to public demand, the Bank shall introduce and release into the market gold coins in units of a tenth ounce, quarter ounce, and half an ounce for sale with effect from mid-November 2022,' RBZ Governor John Mangudya said in his mid-term monetary policy statement released Thursday.
