When people want to go to a restaurant they are again forced to carry mountains of money with them. This all began in the year 1980, when president Mugabe came to power and transformed the whole country into a giant agricultural field. Now the inflation is through the roof, 80% of the population is unemployed and a third of the population has left the country. At least they can take pride in the fact that they have the highest denomination bills in the world.

and I thought the guys running the U.S. were messing up our country... really puts things in perspective... that is sad, though I can't help but laugh hysterically.
I gotta feel bad for the honest people in their country..... both of them. The rest seem to bring it on themselves. hopefully, a leader will emerge and bring about social and economic change to their country soon.
If one million dollars is now basically worthless, does that mean that if you were already rich (had millions in the bank) before the currency collapsed, you will then be as poor as everyone else when the currency recovers?
Nah, All banks offer interest on savings roughly equal to inflation, so if you have money in th bank, it is always worth the same general amount. At least, they do in the country i'm in. Its the only thing that keeps money in banks, cos I dont trust em not to take it all when Im not looking >.>
I would like to think the same thing would happen in all banks around the world. In a country as screwed up as Zimbabwe though, cant really be sure of anything.
thats what happens when you run the white folks out of a country
The same thing happened to Germany after WWI. Their dollar became essentially worthless. People needed a wheelbarrow to buy bread.
Poverty is a state of the mind......the US has sunctioned us together with everyone else but none of us die from hunger we are hard working and our people ar very resiliant.I dont like the regime currently reigning but one thing we are not is poor.We are very industrious,intelligent and weare achievers.......I`m Zimbabwean I dont like Mugabe but we are not poor....we are overcoming....ZIMBABWE LONG lIVE
lol that sucks
what do you call the richest person over there? a zillionaire?
Apparently when Mugabe first came to power, a great majority of the ministers in his government at the fuckin shitless cuntflaps galore party fucked a half dead pig in it's swine poopchute
I wonder how long it will take them to return to a normal economy. I think that they're wasting paper on bills with little value to them. But then again, coins would make it harder to carry around since it is heavier than paper.
you call the richest person over there a mugabillionaire
Check xe.com, Zimbabwe's money was re-denominated on 8/1/08 :/
the cost of printing those notes is greater than the value of the note
This may well be the fate of countries like Pakistan too ( God forbid) if the lavish expnditure policies of our leaders continue.
Muhammad Saleh
