What a joke of a country. The joys of the African dictatorial beast. Why they do not get rid of the beast is beyond comprehension. $22 million to wipe your hind end. You have to laugh.

The Zimbabwean dollar is now so worthless that the zeros have become confusing...

Scientific notation. "I'm sorry, Mr. Drill, but that beer will cost you 2x1016 dollars, not 2x1015. It's OK - your Visa has a nonillion-dollar limit."

No kidding, you have to *intentionally* do that much damage, self-inflicted, as there is no way to accidentally do it...

I fear we are looking at the next Rwanda, God help those people

Mugabe will just print new ones with the decimal place moved waaay over, paper and human lives are cheap.

I wonder how much that Chinese ship full of weapons cost in Z dollars?

See. Socialism works! Everyone’s a billionaire. /s Sadly idiot liberals in this country believe poor people in this country will be rich if they just take it all from hard working people and give it to themselves.

Reminds me of the Monty Python skit about prices on the planet Algon:

Voice Over: This is the planet Algon, fifth world in the system of Aldebaran, the Red Giant in the constellation of Sagittarius. Here an ordinary cup of drinking chocolate costs four million pounds, an immersion heater for the hot-water tank costs over six billion pounds. and a pair of split-crotch panties would be almost unobtainable. A simple rear window de-misting device for an 1100 costs eight thousand million billion pounds and a new element for an electric kettle like this would cost as much as the entire gross national product of the United States of America from 1770 to the year 2000, and even then they wouldn’t be able to afford the small fixing ring which attaches it to the kettle.
