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.

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.

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

I told her thats actually Zimbabwe, but she didn't believe me, on account of her being brain washed and such.
