New Zimbabwe dollars became more valuable as toilet paper than currency.
I saw this sentence in an English exam. Is it a correct sentence?
It seems to me that new Zimbabwe dollars is compared with currency. Am I wrong?

It's grammatical, but it's got several parts that show the structure left out. A fuller version would be NZ$ became more valuable as toilet paper than they are valuable as currency. This is comparing the relative values of the paper currency for different purposes.
