jul 5, 2008 - Zimbabwe dollar became nearly worthless
Description:
This is how grave the economic crisis in Zimbabwe has become. Banknotes issued just a few months ago are not enough to buy even a single sheet of toilet tissue. And this week, the Mail & Guardian newspaper of South Africa reported that, in any case, there is no toilet tissue to be found in the stores of Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwean 50-billion-dollar note is worth just 33 U.S. cents. By the time you hear this, possibly even less than that
