The 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollar banknote ($1,014 dollars), equal to $1,027 pre-2006 dollars.
I am sure that our hemisphere’s equivalent, Venezuela, has many doing much of the same for the same reasons! And then we have Sen.B.Sanders who thinks everything is wonderful with Socialism - sheesh!
Does anyone remember a lady from Zimbabwe who posted here occasionally? I’ve often wondered what happened to her.
What? And here I thought my multi trillion dollar Zimbabwe banknotes might be worth something! /sarc

Zimbabwe is Exhibit A as a warning to other leaders in Africa who contemplate overturning democracy in favor of dictatorship. One of the reasons Zim’s problems are so bad is Robert Mugabe’s brutal oppression of whites, particularly white farmers who have been murdered and/or forced off their land and then replaced with people who don’t have a clue of how to run a farm. Mugabe is also anti-British and anti-United States which has only deepened the country’s economic crisis.
I’ve only been to Zimbabwe briefly but was there long enough to see that most Zimbabweans seem to be hardworking, intelligent and resourceful people. One Zimbabwean told me that they hate Mugabe but there’s nothing they can do because he’s a dictator.
Countries like South Africa should take note of what happens through wealth ‘redistribution’ and other such undemocratic things.
WHAT!!!??? Why would a Zimbabwean want a single US dollar when they can have a quadrillion Zimbabwean Dollars and retire a quadrillionaire???
Obummer to the rescue. And thanks, John Boehner for not shutting down the Ex-Im Bank when you had the chance.

They should look in Mugabe’s Swiss and offshore bank accounts.
