@busta"The Fed is currently taking keen observation of inflationary pressures of the U.S. dollar and is now using economic tools to fight inflation rather than stimulate the economy"You mean like lowering the interest rates? Fighting inflation with more inflation? The inflation rate is probably in double digits but they won't release enough information to determine that.

Reminds me of my 500,000,000,000 Yugoslavian dollar bill (dinar?). Which I just went to get as I was typing this... <a class="user" href="http://www.3833.com/largest_denomination_wbn_with_zero">http://www.3833.com/largest_denomination_wbn_with_ ...</a> I wonder how much it cost to print a 500 billion dollar bill.

Money is only a tool for transaction to exchange what people need, and it is backed by your government. The number upon our money is just merely a number, if the government and the finance of a country is not strong enough. The money held in your hand will evaporate if your country in great debt.

Stop buying toilet paper, exchange US$ for ZWD$1000 bills or less if you're really stingy. Attach each note on edge, put on roll and sell as toilet paper, make massive profit that doubles every few days.
