100,000,000,000,000 Dollar bill. Zimbabwean dollar. INFLATION

The Zimbabwean dollar ($, or Z$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies) was the official currency of Zimbabwe between 1980 and 12 April 2009.

Although the dollar was considered to be among the highest valued currency units when it was first introduced in 1980 to replace the Rhodesian dollar at a ratio of 1:1, political turmoil and hyperinflation rapidly eroded the value of the Zimbabwe dollar to eventually become one of the least valued currency units in the world, undergoing three redenominations, and banknote denominations being issued for as high as $100 trillion.[2]

Despite attempts to control inflation by legislation and three separate redenominations in 2006, 2008 and 2009, the use of the dollar as an official currency was effectively abandoned on 12 April 2009 as a result of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe legalising the use of foreign currencies for transactions in January 2009.[3]

Currently, foreign currencies such as the South African Rand, Botswana Pula, Pound Sterling and the United States Dollar are widely used instead for nearly all transactions in Zimbabwe, and the current government of Zimbabwe has insisted that the Zimbabwean dollar should only be reintroduced if the industrial output improves.[4]

The viewers should ask what happened to all the white people who built this nation ,and why the US & Britian did stand up for them since they support minority rights. Dont worry the US & Great Britian are going to pay for allowing Rhodesia being destroyed. Magube is selling Irans Ahadinejad uranium to make a atomic bomb to use to threaten world peace. Thanks to both of these governments.

What can you actually buy with that in Zimbabwe?

[TheTrueJBV3737]

Thats what happens when your currency is paper,,, and now look at the mighty world as we create currency with digits... Thew populace will have a rude awakening indeed,,, hahah.

To all those comments below who say they can buy this and that for 5$ or 0.10 cents: How long until you can't?

I would not trade one ounce of silver for anything under a 500 pounds of paper currency to be used as fire starter or shit tickets.
