Zim currency - 12 zeroes removed


Attached you will find a photograph of me holding some Zimbabwe
currency in my hand. ON my left is the old currency now being phased
out. The green notes are worth $10 trillion and you need ten of these
to buy a loaf of bread.

You will also notice a purplish note which is the five hundred million
dollar note. In my right hand is the new currency a five dollar note
which is revalued from $5 trillion to just $5 dollars. The reserve bank has
removed 12 zeroes. Most people are using the currency of America,
South Africa and Botswana for trading. Many refuse to accept Zim money
which is considered worthless.
