Inflation in Zimbabwe

As of 26 September 2008, inflation in Zimbabwe was 531 000 000 000 per cent. Make sure you get those zeros right.
This means 42 Indian Rupees is nearly equal to 50 million Zimbabwean dollars. And you were worried about the 12 per cent inflation rate of our country. Bah! If you decide to go to Zimbabwe, with just 42 Rupees, you become a millionaire!! Congratulations on that.

Zimbabweans are now purchasing a sandwich for Zimbabwean $50 million.
One kg of potatoes cost Zimbabwean $17 million.
At a supermarket near the capital, toilet paper costs $417.
Compare yourself with a Zimbabwean and feel lucky!

So when and where's your next family trip? [Wink Wink]
