I've been keeping tabs on this over the last few months (thanks, the Economist). My favourite bit is that $1 CAD is equal to $19B ZWD, or something. You can imagine gas prices over there...

I wonder what change for a 500 million dollar bill looks like. :rofl:

I was in Zim last year and it was a pretty sad situation. Everyone I met had to cross the border into Zambia to get food. People burn old cash as it's cheaper than firewood. Very sad situation. Fu(k Mugabe!

10.00 CAD = 185,427,167,435.89 ZWD

Imagine using this to bet against people.

"I bet you a billion ZWD that you can't do that!"

I had a math teacher that handed out 1,000,000 denomination bills from some South American country he visited that tanked in exchange for correct answers. He brought a couple suitcases full back with him filled with the money, I think it was worth about $50 Can.

Oh and Fuck Mugabe
