Ceny v Zimbabwe v stratosfére

100 amerických dolárov sa predáva za Z$5 000 000 000 000 000 ...

A loaf of bread now costs around Z$400,000, double last week's price of Z$200,000. Two kilograms of sugar cost Z$1 million and a kilo of maize meal, Zimbabwe's staple food, goes for one U.S. dollar or Z$400,000 at the current parallel market exchange rate.


However, in the frenzied market in transactions carried out by check, someone holding a U.S. hundred dollar bill could receive Z$5 quadrillion - a five followed by 15 zeros.
