Economy+of+Zambia

__Economy of Zambia__ __Currency__ Zambia's form of currency is Kwatcha, and as of November 5th, 2011, the exchange rate for dollars to Kwatcha is 1$-4,965 Kwatcha. The Zambian Kwatcha is divided into 100 ngwee. __Zambia's Industry__ Zambia's main industry is mining. They mainly mine copper because this s their most common resource. Although they also mine some gemstones such as amethyst, aquamarine, beryl, emeralds, tourmaline, garnets, opals, and even more, though these precious stones are not included in the main mining industry. A few more staple things that they mine are cobalt, zinc, gold, silver, and uranium. All these things affect Zambia today because it shows how horrible their economy is. One of our pennies is equally to 5,000,000 of theirs. The main way that their country earns money is through mining, which is dangerous and is very bad for the environment. Also, their industry is very unpredictable and it makes their economy unstable, because once they can't find anymore metals or gems, they will no longer have any good source of income.
