I just read an article that Zimbabwe is issuing a 10,000,000 bill to keep up with inflation which is at 150,000%. It said a hamburger cost 15 million dollars or $6.00 U S.
My question is where in this area or online can I buy one of those 10 million dollar bills? I emailed their embassy in DC but they wont answer me.
Thanks

Yeah, it's a true story and it is coming to a currency near you. Enjoy your $800 now cause it'll be worthless in the future. I swear, that is such a 3rd world country move - our economy sucks, print more money.

no no, they are short of physical money because it's worth so little. perhaps they should use electronic bank cards so that they dont need to print so much money. the underlying problem is that their inflation is out of control and their president is an idiot.
