Bought a Sunday newspaper today, The Sunday Independent. It had the price on it.
SA R11,50 (Inc VAT)
Zimbabwe $30 Billion.
That's right - $30 000 000 000 000,00
Who needs sanctions?
They couldn't do anything to the Zimbabwe economy that Mugabe hasn't already done.
There was a time when the Zim dollar was worth more than a Rand.

Blimey, Steve!
I'll try to remember to look next week to see what it is then.
I remember reading about someone in Germany, I think Dietrich Bonhoeffer's father, who had an insurance policy fall due during the hyperinflation there in the 1920s, and he was able to buy a bottle of champagne with the proceeds to celebrate. In Zimbabwe it probably wouldn't have even bought the newspaper.
