Zimbabwe's Gold Rush: Why Gold Coins and Digital Gold are Shaping the Future

By Extrafemi | Last Updated: December 30, 2026

Gold prices have reached record highs in 2025, triggering major moves from governments and innovators worldwide. One striking example comes from Zimbabwe, where the central bank has restarted minting gold coins to strengthen its bullion reserves and stabilize its new currency, the ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold).

According to Bloomberg, after a 10-month pause, Zimbabwe is betting once again on the enduring value of gold—a clear signal that, in uncertain times, gold remains a trusted store of wealth.

Zimbabwe’s Gold Strategy: Back to Bullion
