Belatucadrus Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Worth 2$ USat least it was worth that much when the story was posted at 16:12 GMT.The previous highest denomination note was for Z$250m, issued 10 days ago.The mind boggles, still with godawful Gordo in control, well see the £ slide yet further against the €. Hopefully not quite that far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 At their inflation rate, by the end of the print run the cost of the ink and paper to print each note will exceed its value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I can't understand why someone hasn't bumped Mugabwe off yet.I've been expecting it for some time now. It's a sure way to put him out of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'm not sure being dead would be sufficient to stop Bob being re-elected president. I'll bet Zanu PF would find some way of circumventing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Zimbabwe is to introduce a bank-note worth Z$100bn in response to rampant inflation - but the note will barely cover the cost of a loaf of bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 It may well soon be the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 What a peculiar world.It will cost more to produce the bank note that it it worth.That having been said I am told that the price of copper in this country is such that copper coins are worth more for scrap that their purchasing power.

I suppose if one were to put one through a bandsaw one could see the proof with the naked eye!!!When did that start. It is certainly another example of the devaluing of the currency. Presumably fivers will be printed on bog roll before long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
