Here is a boy getting change in 200 000 dollar notes!
One 200 000 dollar note equals less than $0.10 cents (as of 2008)
December 22nd, a new note of 500 000 dollars introduced to the market!
Next - 750 000 dollars.
January - new note of 10 million dollars.
This US $10 dollar note is 10 times worth more than the 10 million dollars Zimbabwe note.
A case worth 65 billion Zimbabwe dollars which equals to $2000 US dollars (in 2008)
This guy is going to a supermarket. The exchange rate is 25 million Zimbabwe dollars for 1 US dollar.
This mountain of cash is worth $100..
50 Million note is then introduced!
Next is 250 million dollars note..
Ok, how much is this t-shirt?

May - a note of 500 million dollars is introduced!
June - note worth 25 and 50 billion are printed.
And finally - 100 billion dollars note!
What can you buy for it? Well, these 3 eggs for example.
Thats how people pay in restaurants!
And the bills:
