  • At the height of its hyperinflation, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe was printing $100 trillion banknotes that “could not pay for a simple bus fare.”

    Yeah, and so did Turkey (1 million, not 100 Trillion).

    I used it when I went back home. It was impressive seeing the bread rings (simit) go from costing the 1000 TL coin to the 1000000 banknote.

    Of course, the dictator got rid of 6 zeroes from the currency, fixing the economy once and for all

    But…

    ONCE AND FOR ALL
