And coming up from behind Venezuela is gaining on world champion Zimbabwe... Folks it looks like a hopeless challenge with the Venezuelan Bolivar pegged to US$ 79,737 compared to Zimbabwe World championship belt when Zim retired from the currency race in 2009.

Asked about Venezuela's chances to overtake Zimbabwe on the race to the bottom and a new world championship, El Presidente Maduro replied, "In the immortal inspirational words of Presidente Obama, '!Sí se puede¡', Yes we can!"

Don’t forget that Zimbabwe had already lopped off 13 zeroes, so that ridiculous 100 trillion dollar bill is really a one octillion dollar ($1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) bill from Zimbabwe’s original money.

A few years ago, I bought five of those notes (1/2 quadrillion dollars!). Gave them to friends and relatives so we’d never be broke again. Being a trillionaire gives one a warm and fuzzy feeling.
