Lol at Zim dollars! Whenever I go to Harare I buy some of those old notes at the airport from the guys who work at the shops there..
PeteButtigieg
Worth .40 USD
Superchief86
Man, that's cool. My dad got a 100,000 bill from there. I thought that was impressive.
intashu
Sad that if I wanted one.. I'd be paying MASSIVE inflation to get one sent to me.. I mean we're talking probably about 5USD here..
BATmothafckinMAN
It's only worth 40¢
koops
The prices of these are insane now! A good mint one of these can go for $50+!!! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/222722528361

Stormcou

StaticE3
My father has a 5 dollar Zimbabwe note from a while back.
CoryBernardi
I lived in Uganda. It was cheaper to wipe your ass with money than buy toilet paper. I didn't because some money already smelled bad
thatsuzychick

VoidofLostKnowledge

thosearetheboobsimlookingfor
U broke!
iwritewithballpoint
That's worth like 40 US cents.
breguet
hah, i have this same set
daranthered
I know an economist who has one of these framed in his office. Zimbawe was once the breadbasket of Africa.
LordBogmonster
I have a small collection of interesting currencies from broken economies!
TerranceFortesqueSmythe
I heard these we're fake and someone had a good idea to sell them to us western muppets.

Aw man. All I've got is fifty trillion.
HatredandVitriol

demodulated
Damn you Loch Zimbabwe Monster
gubbstrut
So that is why my friend got a mail asking for 120bill dollars to help get his inheritance
englishdoyouspeakitmotherfucker
Fiddy tril?
MightyIink
Oh cool, 45 cents in USD!
Sakabashira
Worth as much as the pile of rocks on the paper.
NairnyBear
Those are magic diesel rocks, endemic to Zimbabwe
TheChurchOfUpvote
Those might have ore deposits actually
koops
I think you should double check that ;) Prices just sky rocketed. You could get a block(100) for $5 they are now $50+usd Each now!
IAmAManofConstantSorrow
Considering people buy rocks and make them their counter tops I would say those rocks are worth more
Abracanawbra
Technical victory is the best kind of victory.
GuW69
I want one to hang on my wall, I could pay with real money if someone sent me one, like a 1€ bill or something
stghugostiglitz
I need about tree fiddy...trillion.
SpookyCarnage
Looks like Rock Band font.
nirach
I carry mine in my wallet. Just in case they ever bring it back. The exchange rate put these at £209,114,279,303.68 last time it was valid
nirach
Before anyone points it out, I know it's not technically possible. But maybe I discover time travel. Shush.
selan
Honest question here, why does the inflation get so bad?
SilentHowling
The government printing money it didn't have, while falling apart economically, caused the international community to devalue it's money.

foulballtocenterfield
According to the article 1 USD was equal to 2 bil in ZD at inflation peak. So the 100 tril note is around $50,000. Did inflation continue?
fattytunadouche
That was the peak inflation rate, but inflation still continued after that.
Raptor052
It wasn't so much inflation as the rest of the world devaluing its currency due to its unstable nature. No one else wanted to use it.
PantherLady
It'll buy you a can of coke and a bag of chips.
TurboSwag
Where are you from that a can of Coke and a bag of chips is $0.40?

Zimbabwe?
Stillirrelevant
Yes
yourabigguy
The only money really able to be used in Zimbabwe anymore is USD, CNY, & ZAR
pnrpikachu
When I was there (Feb) they strictly accepted USD and sometimes the newly created bond currency.
esbear
Which apparantly returned the inflation.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Haven't been able to use USD for at least 6 months. It keeps getting taken out of the country cause it's worth more. 1/2
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
They where using bond notes since
f4t3
And Bitcoin!
furrshurre
The bitcoin rate is mental
EmberFiretail
Not useful in a place that barely has electricity most of the time.
Rabeandre
I mean I kinda get the Dollar and Rand, but didn't expect the Yuan
Fefeaage
Why would you not expect it?
fitlex
Well everyone buys everything from China anyway so i guess it makes sense to just use their money
yourabigguy
China is Zimbabwe's biggest trade partner. Many feel it's likely that China helped w/ the coup b/c Mugabe was moving away from China trade
Rabeandre
Well to be fair, Mugabe was moving away from everything, including sanity
Huhwhatcrazy
Chinese massive in Africa. Massive everywhere these days. Thanks Trump
dghammer
Billions loaned during obumbles a dim...go fuck yourself tard.
Leeloothedog
ya Chinese influence only started to spread when Trump became president... /s are you kidding me lol
HEXADECIMAL
This is a bigger insult to Chnia than to Trump.
Leeloothedog
The most ironic part about all of it is how it was Hillary Clinton's husband that opened trade with China lol
HEXADECIMAL
You expect the rand but not the Yuan? China's the world's 2nd largest economy...
deanvaliant
South Africa borders Zimbabwe, easy flow of cash, although I agree the Yuan also makes sense with trade
HEXADECIMAL
If the West completely divested from South Africa it'd be as much of a basket case as Zimbabwe.
