<P> The first Zimbabwean dollar was introduced in 1980 and replaced the Rhodesian dollar at par . The initial ISO 4217 code was ZWD . At the time of its introduction , the Zimbabwean dollar was worth more than the US dollar in the official exchange market , with 1 ZWD = 1.47 USD , although this did not reflect the actual purchasing power it held . As a result , in both the official and parallel markets , the currency 's value eroded rapidly over the years , and by July 2006 , the parallel market value of the Zimbabwean dollar fell to Z $1,000,000 = GB £ 1 . </P>
