The Chiremba Balancing Rocks are a group of naturally stacked igneous boulder formations at Epworth, southeast of Harare, Zimbabwe, designated a national monument in 1994. The best known formation among them, called Domboremari or the Money Rock, is a stack of three balanced boulders that has appeared on every Zimbabwean banknote issued since 1981 and serves as the logo of Zimbabwe's Reserve Bank. Balancing rock formations of this kind occur widely across Zimbabwe, especially in Matobo National Park and around Epworth, where igneous rock has weathered into rounded boulders left resting on one another in improbable natural balance. The Chiremba rocks are one of the country's most recognizable natural landmarks.
