At 4am, I stumbled across this article about the "zimdollar" in my insomnia induced stupor. The Zimbabwean currency is now dead, the inflation rate so astronomical that one trillion zim is worth only a meager 50 U.S. cents. I actually have a few old bills and coins from my Peace Corps days. 10 years ago they weren't worth much and now, it is worth less than a few sheets of toilet paper.
