Zimbabwe Currency

 
This is what happens in Zimbabwe. 
Inflation at 231 million percent a year has meant 25 million Zimbabwe dollars equals to just 1.
The pictures below look funny, but the story is really sad.

Visiting the neighborhood grocer.
 
Some pocket money
 
Awesome price tag
 
This is how people pay in restaurants
 
The bill of course!
 
The 100 billion dollar note in circulation
Zimbabwe's $100 billion banknote with the number of eggs it could purchase on its
release date
 
They are now releasing a 100 TRILLION banknote.
If you want to  a  for a few days, a holiday to Zimbabwe will surely give you that feeling!
And 1 trillion = $33 USD.

In 1980 ZMD was equivalent to British pounds and now!
