Hate to be picayune, but there are 15 zeros in a quadrillion, not 16.

Quite true, but:

No less than 16, as the federal reserve attempts to end funny money by offering one new Zimbabwe dollar in exchange for 35 quadrillion old ones.

So, the exchange is not a quadrillion to 1 (equivalent to striking 15 zeroes)... and not even 10 quadrillion to 1 (striking 16 zeroes) - but 35 quadrillion to 1.
