Well yeah, I read the caption above and I was momentarily taken aback by the Z$45,000 figure. Then I just did a currency conversion:
45,000.00 ZWD = 0.453620 USD
1 ZWD = 0.0000100804 USD
1 USD = 99,202.00 ZWD

What is even more significant is that in the year 2000, just before the farm confiscations began, the exchabge rate was Z$55.00 to US$1.00
As I have said before, professors will set Zimbabwe as a case study for generations of students of macro-economics and students of geopolitics in how to destroy an economy and how to start a volkerwanderung.
