“oh, you don’t take the Afro-American card? that’s fine i’ll pay cash then…you got change for a billion?”
- Cam’Ron in “Ching Ching” ft Hell Rell
Well, if Cam was in Zimbabwe it would make sense. Today Zimbabwe issued it’s new $100 Billion note. Yes that’s a one-hundred billion dollar bill. Crazy! Does anyone know the exchange rate? I’m too lazy to look it up now. It must be horrific though lol.
Zimbabwe started issuing large banknotes in December, starting with denominations of $250,000.
In January, the government issued bills in denominations of $1 million, $5 million, and $10 million — and in May, it issued bills from $25 million and $50 million up to $25 billion and $50 billion.
The new bills are actually bearer checks and have an expiration date of December 31. Zimbabwe has not had formal currency since the introduction of bearer checks as a temporary measure in 2003.
