The only people making money in Zimbabwe are the printing press mechanics.

A bill with an expiration date. Doesn't that set off big red flags and loud alarms in people's heads?

Everyone's gonna be outside the shop on the night of Dec 30 trying to cash in their half-billion bills before they run out. That'll be hilarious, in the "led to world war ii" sort of hilarious.

Your calculator is broken. That bill is worth something like two US dollars, probably less.

Correction: one US dollar was worth $7 billion Zimbabwe dollars as of 20 June. Even if the currency hasn't collapsed further since then, which I know for a fact isn't true, that man's bill is worth about seven cents. You still need a suitcase full of them to buy a bottle of liquor strong enough to knock you out for a few hours.

I concede to you Fnarf. My calculator can't deal with numbers that small and I couldn't figure out how to read it.

Some LaRoucher at the pride parade started following me, telling me that the US is going through hyperinflation. I told her thats actually Zimbabwe, but she didn't believe me, on account of her being brain washed and such.
