I know things have gotten much worse since I was there in 2005, but before I left, the PH and I had lunch at the airport while waiting on the plane. A chicken salad sandwich and a coke was $250,000.00 zim dollars.
Their 50,000 dollar note had an expiration date on it. Mugabe has destroyed what was once one of the profitable and wonderful countries in all of the African continent.
I understand that inflation has now exceeded 2500%.

Damn! You would need a wheelbarrow just to haul your cash around if you went shopping!

Well, aren't you a trip. Since you support Castro, I figured you would love Mugabe as well? Or do you flip flop over dictators?

Zimbabwe recently started printing $10 million bills. At the time, one was worth about $40 US.

Not any more. Last I read, a $10 million note wasn't enough to buy lunch at a fast food joint. A hamburger, fries and a coke ran about $15 million.
