Speaking of hyper-inflation, it's fun looking at the website of the
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe http://www.rbz.co.zw to see the daily
exchange
rate of the $Z vs the $US. Yesterday, it was 5,817,000,000; today it's
6,718,000,000. They have just issued $Z 50,000,000,000 notes ("bearer
cheques"). And it will cost you $Z 1,800,000,000 to mail a postcard to
the
US. http://www.zimpost.co.zw/postalrates.html

It's a shame that there are no images of currently circulating Zimbabwean
notes or coins.

50 million note here

Anywhere to see the other side of these notes?
