UK Telegraph: Zimbabwe introduces $100 trillion banknote Zimbabwe's central bank will introduce a $100 trillion Zimbabwean banknote, worth about US $33 on the black market, to try to ease desperate cash shortages, state-run media said on Friday. This country was once known as Southern Rhodesia after Cecil Rhodes. The tragedy unfolding in this country almost makes one doubt that democracy can be practiced everywhere and for all. I doubt that any elections in this country were ever free.

We now owe the Weimar Republic an apology. Their inflation was nothing compared to this.
