Zimbabwe - pay $ 100 billion for the three eggs !

The following story is about the economy in Zimbabwe:

This is the how things stand there...

(25 million Zimbabwean dollars is worth as one American dollar because the inflation is at 231 million % a year)

Following pictures look funny, but in fact the things are really sad at the moment...

Shopping at a local store!

Pocket money...

Great prices...

Paying in a restaurant...

And of course the check...

$ 100 billion bill and the amount of eggs that can be bought it...

Recently a bill of 100 trillion dollars was introduced !

So, if you want to feel like a billionaire, go to Zimbabwe for a while...

The current situation - one trillion Zimbabwean dollars = 33 US dollar

And finally to point out that in 1980, a One ZMD (Zimbabwean dollar) was worth 1 British pound! And what about now.....

partially true, they haven't had their own currency since 2009

To confirm what Charlie has said ... Zimbabwe trades in South African Rands and the US Dollar since 2009. The Zim Dollar is no longer in circulation and is unlikely to be until there is a permanent government in place and where there is an economy that can "sustain" itself a local currency.
