Here is the list of all the correct answers.
As mentioned before 4 questions may have rather ambiguous answers because there is a special situation regarding the legal tender state in Zimbabwe. Due to hyper inflation this state suspended the use of its own currency. The Euro is now one of the currencies which have the status of legal tender. But it is difficult to find official information about the situation regarding currency issues in Zimbabwe so for these 4 questions both possible answers were allowed.
Please also note, that some answers may slightly differ from the ones given by Caffe and the other participants. But it's for fun anyway
