Zimpricecheck puts the black market rates at between $5 800 and $6 400 but these amounts are difficult to get on the streets with offers just above $5 000 being more realistic.
It, however, puts the cash rate at $3 000, which is too low.
The firming of the Zimbabwe dollar has led to speculation that Zimbabwe might abandon the multiple currency system after the elections but central bank governor John Mangudya says there will be no rush.
