The attached picture was taken at Country Club bar on Saturday 24th November 2007. The patron had been to his bank and was supplied with the only notes they had – $500 ‘s !! A beer at Country Club is now Z$1 Million so there are 4 piles of 250,000 in 500′s. Just to remind those of you who are no longer here, we lost 3 zero’s in August 2006. So the beer actually costs Z$1 Billion of the money you knew.
I wonder what it’ll take before someone realizes the ridiculousness of it all, confiscates all the bills and restarts the economy at a more normal scale. That’s the only option I can imagine. I mean, it must be cheaper to wipe one’s ass with a dollar then a sheet of toilet paper.
