Zimbabweans get new banknotes, but angered by withdrawal limits

A man poses with Zimbabwe's new two dollar banknotes as customers queue outside a bank in Harare, Zimbabwe, November 12, 2019.

Zimbabweans finally got access to new low-denomination currency on Tuesday that authorities hope will end chronic cash shortages, but banks maintained an existing weekly withdrawal limit of $20, frustrating many customers.

The new 2 and 5 Zimbabwe dollar notes and coins were scheduled to start circulating on Monday but failed to appear on time, causing confusion at banks.
