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 -17.8856°N 31.1256°W). 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]}
