The Domboremari depicted on a Zimbabwean banknote

The Domboremari, also known as the Money Rock,[1] is a formation of three boulders that form part of the Chiremba Balancing Rocks on the northwestern outskirts of Epworth (at coordinates Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.). This rock formation is notable because it appears in all Zimbabwean banknotes issued since 1981, and is also the prominent feature of the logo of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.[2][3][4]
