"HARARE (AFP) - Zimbabwe, grappling with a record 2.2 million percent inflation, has introduced a new 100-billion-dollar bank note in a bid to tackle rampant cash shortages, the central bank said Saturday. "
Ok. I know it's a bit random. But seriously lah, 100-BILLION-dollar notes. Who the hell will use it in their country anyway, though their currency is super low value. Just a check on the internet. As of today, the currency conversion between SGD and ZWD is 1 : 22,363. So 100-billion ZWD is approximately 4,471,672 SGD. Hmm. Imagine everyone in Singapore just forking out 1 dollar. You get what I mean.
