Herald Reporter
SOME commercial banks are charging up to US$5 to change torn, defaced or old notes with new ones for amounts rangi-ngbetween US$1 and US$500, prompting the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to warn them against prejudicing and abusing the public.

The RBZ said banks should ensure the public received due value in exchange of their soiled notes.
