Such is the state of the world's most bankrupt and fiscally untenable economy. Zimbabwe's 100,000 percent inflation rate is the world's highest—a runaway train with no driver, no brakes and no limits to the train's top speed. Perhaps it's not surprising, then, that Zimbabweans have learned to cope by developing one of the world's most sophisticated black markets. If the local merchants didn't keep this economy afloat with fuel, oil, corn and the cash to fund it all, the already unstable southern African nation could slip into civil war.

hyperinflation is inflation that is "out of control," a condition in which prices increase rapidly as a currency loses its value.

Send me $1,000.00 USD and I'll send $1,000,000,000.00 Monopoly Dollars. Same logic.
