:stoned Zimbabwe releases $10 million bill
Quote:
As the US economy inches ever closer to a recession, it might provide a little perspective to look at what a real economic crisis looks like. Plagued by hyperinflation of over 50,000% a year, Zimbabwe's central bank recently decided to issue $10 million notes-- believed to be the highest denomination of currency in the world today. The bill, worth less than US$4, is barely enough to purchase a hamburger. One writer illustrates the rampant inflation:

"The bill is exactly the same color, layout and design as a $20 bill I've been carrying in my wallet since my trip to Zimbabwe 15 months ago... When I wrote about that $20, it was worth about $0.025 USD - a silly amount of money to represent with a bill, but still a functional piece of currency. At the moment, that bill is worth $0.00000005 cents, or 5 hundred-millionths of a cent."

No one cares if some third-world shithole spirals into utter chaos and financial ruin.

After all, it really is none of our business. The world agress with me on this topic.

That's like those fucking Poles. Their currency got into shitter and you were virtually paying billions for a chewing gun. They just slashed few dozen zeroes out of embarrassment and made themselves look like everything is fine and dandy. Fucking Poles
