December 22 nd  2007, a new note of 500,000 dollars introduced to the market!
Next - 750,000 dollars.

This US $10 dollar  note is 10 times worth more than the 10 million  dollars Zimbabwe note.
This guy is going to a supermarket. The exchange rate is 25 million  Zimbabwe dollars for 1 US dollar.
This mountain of cash is worth 100 US Dollars.
The 50 Million dollar note is then introduced!
Next is the 250 million dollar note !
Sorry, how much is this t-shirt?  - It’s cheap, only about 3 billion dollars!
May 2008 - a note of 500 million dollars is introduced!

And finally – a 100 billion dollar note!  What can you buy for it? Β Well, 3 eggs for example.

In August, the government devalued  the Zimbabwe dollar by removing 10 zeros from notes.
