   They recently re-denominated their dollar, so 100 billion is now worth about 10. Before the re-denomination that bill was worth less than 2 USD.

   Then again, my math is horrible so I may be off.

   Yeah.. check this from xe.com

   Notice: The Zimbabwe government redenominated the ZWD on August 1, 2008 at a rate of 10,000,000,000 old ZWD to 1 new ZWD. No new currency code has been issued, but the old ZWD currency remains legal tender until December 31, 2008.

   So that is worth like $2.80.

   Because of Hyper-inflation, they recently took 10 zeros off the end of the currency. This means my Granddad can’t be paid his pension, because it would require a monthly payment of Z$0.0023

   Thanks Mr. Mugabe… you proved it’s possible to be an even worse president than Bush.
