In Zimbabwe $1 US Now Equals 35,000,000,000,000,000 Old Dollars

Deflation is in this summer in Zimbabwe! As Zimbabweans will start exchanging “quadrillions” of local dollars for a few US dollars next week as President Robert Mugabe’s government discards its virtually worthless national currency. At the height of the country’s economic crisis, Zimbabweans had to carry plastic bags bulging with banknotes to buy basic goods.
