A Trillionaire


By July 4th, 2008 at 5PM, a bottle of beer cost $100 billion Zimbabwean dollars, but an hour later, the price had gone up to $150 billion.

On August 19, 2008, official figures announced for June estimated inflation of over 11,250,000 percent.

PS: When I was in Russia, you had to pay lots of rubles for a coin which was worth less than a ruble. The coins, kinda like a dime, were necessary for making phone calls in a phonebooth.

Save your Quarters! :)
