Why I don't accept the Zimbabwean Express Card
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar#Third_dollar
1 (third) ZWD = 10,000,000,000 (second) ZWD
1 (third) ZWD = 10,000,000,000,000 (first) ZWD
The first ZWD was discontinued July 2006. The second ZWD was discontinued in July 2008.
September 1st, 2008
1 USD buys 3,362.11 (third) ZWD
October 1st, 2008
1 USD buys 1,418,021.35 (third) ZWD, which would be equivalent to
14,180,213,500,000,000,000 (first) ZWD.
14 quintillion Zimbabwean dollars.
40,000% inflation in one month. I cannot imagine.
