Of course, the headline is misleading, as per usual...

From the article:

"By 2008, foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the South African rand had become de facto currencies thanks to a booming black market. The following year, the government announced that it would officially allow businesses to use these currencies, effectively abandoning the Zimbabwean dollar.

The new agreement would add the yuan to the list of currencies used for public transactions, and the Zimbabwean government said it would encourage its use."
