Do you want to be a millionare?
 

Well do you?



If you go to Zimbabwe and exchange 50 US cents you can be one! 231000000% inflation FTW!




Discuss.

wtf? why? i just checked it on the currency calculator too :shrug:

wait does everything cost trillions of dollars? or did a nuke just go off there?

If you believe that the Zimbabwe dollar will gain value against the US dollar by even a small margin, you could make out from it.

They love the printing press!

That would be a great deal, although I do not believe that will happen.

Sounds familiar...

I've got mine

That money looks worse than monopoly money. I guess good paper is expensive...

I thought they still used shiny rocks as currency??

For under $11.50 you can have a million Zimbabwe bucks. lol

That's nice, but worthless. I've been working on a deal with some nice fellas from Nigeria.

Damn it, either the interwebs lied to me or that is an old conversion rate.

Hm.. can't find the original article that I got the info from, but here's an interesting read http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-per-cent.html

Oh I know those guys, they are legit! You should do business with them all the time, they can make you rich!!!

You too can be a millionaire overnight!

LOL, the transaction fee at the bank would be a lot more. :-P

wtf, interwebs lied to me!! it's suppose to be 50 cents per million! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?

Actually scratch my first response. I will counter your measly 50 billion dollar bank note with this bad boy!

500 Billion obviously, this is the largest currency ever printed, in terms of depicting zeros on it.

But if I was to go all out and flat out decapitate your measly 50 billion I would pull out one of these!
This is from post war Hungary, it was doesn't have any numbers on it but it is worth 10 to the 21 power pengos or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 Sextillion pengos!

Just to put it into scale it's Million > Billion > Trillion > Quadrillion > Quintillion > Sextillion.

Check mate :lol:

P.S. Inflation in Hungary was so high that prices doubled every 14 hours!

i've got 2 pesos :-P

yeah but that's not really relevant to a point... a loaf of bread there costs between 16-20 million zimbabwe dollars... lol

Sounds like goverment spending! 2 million dollars on a toilet seat!!

I know that, but that doesn't change the fact that everyone is a millionaire in there! :lol:
