    Zimbabweans say they're hustling for cash to survive 💵💰 The nurse: "I get $300 (£230) a month and use two banks accounts to access the cash I need. Sometime I spend hours in bank queues, but there's no guarantee I'll get money." https://bbc.in/2Okm3zP pic.twitter.com/Izv7NzlRTu

        $300 plastic money. That same amount will be $250 in Zimbabwean Bond notes (hard cash) which is like $USD 200. We buy money (hard cash- Zim bond notes)with our own money (plastic money) on a percentage.
