South Africa is filling with immigrants from Zimbabwe, along with their useless Zimbabwean dollars. One guy I met planned to wallpaper his bathroom with 250 billion dollar bills, figuring the whole job could be done with currency worth less than 1 USD. Though the currency has recently been revalued at 750,000 to one USD, the old bills, like the one featured below are still circulating through the holidays. But using them is difficult, since buying any one item at the 99 cent store would take a stack of money higher than the average person (1 USD = 7500000000000000 old ZD).

In that case, we will be expecting Zimbabwean Trillion Dollar notes to be printed soon.
