it said that....hyperinflation has become so extrem that the treasury of zimbabwe's treasury is set to print 100 trillion, 50 trillion, and 10 trillion dollar notes-compared to U.S. currency the 100 trillion dollar note is worth approximately $300 dollars- they then jokingly said that that's a quick $290 dollar profit- lol- and said QUICK spend it while there is still time-
i then went on a shopping spree- lol

 Even vegetable vendors prefer the U.S. dollar, South African rand or Botswanan pula, and most workers now demand their salaries in foreign currency. Doctors and nurses have been on strike since last September, demanding salaries in U.S. dollars. The strike coincided with a cholera epidemic that now has claimed more than 2,000 lives.
<P>
Last week, the state media reported that most teachers had left their jobs. As a result, the end-of-year examinations taken in November are yet to be graded after the markers demanded their wages in foreign currency. Schools are yet to re-open this year awaiting the examination results
