~ Show me da' "ZIMBO" Money

Please welcome in the all brand new "$50 000" Zim dollar Note or in this case the more politically correct... an Expiring "Bearer's Cheque" front and back, in glorious full colour!

On its back is depicted the mighty Victoria Falls, the water plunging over the precipice into the gorge below! Have a long look by scrolling down at your leisure and at the bottom you will be told what it will buy.

This wonderful new denomination now buys precisely ~

A Whole 3.6 eggs!
Or 4 candles to help fight the power-cuts!
Or 1.25 loaves of basic bread!
Or 100g mince meat!
Or 160g margarine!
Or (this is the worst)...0.714285714285714 beers - in the supermarket and In a pub 0.25 of a beer!!!!! Holy Friggin Crap!

It is unfortunately a sad joke... and to top it off... have a close look on the front of the note... As each note has a sell-by-date where you have to use it before the end of the year... incase it is worthless in 2007!

I friggin do not know... Can it get any worse... ? Is it not time for some-one to issue a "running-kick-fuck-slap" too that old bastard?
