- rossnyc, on 07/30/2008, -4/+73Eventually in Zimbabwe, a Google will be worth 1$ to some Yahoo.
- abdo, on 07/30/2008, -0/+62"Zimbabwe will 10 zeros off"
- wTheOnew, on 07/30/2008, -1/+52Why can't people that post stories take 5 seconds to proofread their descriptions?
- Enfenestrate, on 07/30/2008, -1/+51A plane ticket out of the country
- cloudberries, on 07/30/2008, -0/+41"You too, can preside over your own hyper-inflationary country with the new, improved Mugabe Leader 3000! Watch, as he ruthlessly rapes your country into oblivion. Now with enhanced election rigging capability!"
- wakebrdr3, on 07/30/2008, -18/+58your mom
- jmkiii, on 07/30/2008, -12/+52likes turtles
- orangeguitar311, on 07/30/2008, -1/+38Definitely thought that meant the $10B note was worth 1 USD for a second... not that this is really any better. I guess I couldn't fell amazingly rich now... I always wanted to go there and instantly become a billionaire off of a few dollars.
- DraxusD, on 07/30/2008, -0/+36How in the hell does your currency end up so inflated that a loaf of bread costs more than $100 billion? Insane.
- yossarian24, on 07/30/2008, -12/+47in her soup
- speel, on 07/30/2008, -6/+39YES! I'm rich bitch.
- bwjacket, on 07/30/2008, -12/+43all night long

- cloudberries, on 07/30/2008, -1/+30Three loaves of bread
- Azohko, on 07/30/2008, -13/+40Bow-Chica-Wow-Wow
- mediaspree, on 07/30/2008, -4/+31Someone explain this to me.
- carbonfree314, on 07/30/2008, -3/+29I accidentally 10 zeros off... is this dangerous?
- mediaspree, on 07/30/2008, -2/+28credit your reddit overlords.
- headband, on 07/30/2008, -0/+25mabey they have been dealing with the Nigerians...send me $1000 US because you are a lost prince and I will send you $100 Billion
- RavNouS, on 07/30/2008, -1/+24so what do you get if you win the Lottery there?... a blank check?
- gambl0r, on 07/30/2008, -0/+22Zimbabwe is issuing new currency and exchanging the old currency for the new one at a rate of 10000000000:1
It doesn't fix anything, it just makes it easier for people (and cash registers) to deal with the prices of things. - thetron, on 07/30/2008, -1/+20I think I'm going to buy half of zimbabwe for $50 p+h
- dchristal, on 07/30/2008, -3/+22It's really very simple. Don't tie your currency to any standard. Just keep printing money, like we're doing here in America. If a trillion's not enough, print two trillion.
- m3mn0n, on 07/30/2008, -2/+18What I'm really wondering is how the average person is going to be impacted.
If you're not making $500,000,000,000/year anymore, that must really impact your self-esteem. - toxicityj, on 07/30/2008, -6/+22that'd be cuil.
:| - proficient, on 07/30/2008, -1/+16"i'm in ur zimbabwe, devaluin' ur dollar"
- frostbyt, on 07/30/2008, -1/+15*rubs hands together*
How can I take advantage of this? - Nicksname1, on 07/30/2008, -3/+16Man Mugabe is just awesome!
- dood, on 07/30/2008, -0/+13People have been carrying enormous handfuls of cash around, trying to trade them for basic goods. Those stacks of cash have become larger and larger as the currency becomes less valuable.
This move just chops the 0's off the $10B bill. - Dpack1, on 07/30/2008, -0/+13My gf is from Zimbabwe and recently went back there to renew her visa. It cost 43 Trillion dollars for a bag of rice.
With her current savings she's actually a Quadrillionaire over there. (that equates to around $2000USD) - greeniemeani, on 07/30/2008, -0/+13Once they make this change, it would sure suck to forget and make a mistake when writing a check.
- SwedishNinja, on 07/30/2008, -3/+16I just 10 zeros.
Is this dangerous? - thefandango, on 07/30/2008, -9/+21i c wut u did thar.
- Amezis, on 07/30/2008, -0/+121 US Dollar = 18,681,527,512.36 Zimbabwean dollar according to xe.com
That's 0.53 US Dollars per $10B ZWD ;) - 1773nium, on 07/30/2008, -2/+13They gotta be the first to submit it FTW! This is digg, didn't you know being the first and the funniest is more important than the actual content.
- Dundasbro, on 07/30/2008, -10/+21Ohhhhhhhh-YEAH!
- fletcher008, on 07/30/2008, -2/+12No, it was never funny. It was always annoying.
- abdo, on 07/30/2008, -1/+11Indeed
- lilbitmoreslyk, on 07/30/2008, -1/+11Mugabe got corrupted and some land issues, I haven't heard/read about the causes in a while but I think a good place to start is Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwe#Decline - Vich, on 07/30/2008, -0/+9Because by then someone else has already submitted it.
Sometimes it's easier to just pick a simple generic description for all your submissions like "Another fine comic strip from xkcd" and stick with it. - jonathandyer, on 07/30/2008, -4/+13God dammit Digg!
- crownedgriffin, on 07/30/2008, -0/+8At the current rate of inflation, by the time the check wen't through, would it matter?
- shagmin, on 07/30/2008, -0/+8You know, I think at that point I'd rather just try doing what I can to live off the land and be free of worrying about money.
- Flipperbw, on 07/30/2008, -3/+11This won't do a damn thing, look at Brazil devaluing it's currency multiple (over 6) times in the last 50 years, all it did was effect name changes. Shot right back up. They got smart and pegged to the dollar and finally it's doing OK.
