Buh Bye Zimbabwe Dollar

The Zimbabwe dollar is officially going away on Monday, June 15, because of hyper-inflation. If you have 175 quadrillion Zimbabwe dollars in the bank, you will get 5 U.S. dollars for it. Use of the Z dollar was effectively abandoned in 2009. Wikip. gives the estimated inflation in Zimbabwe in Nov. 2008 as 89,700 plus another 18 zeros %.

    See Wiki article on the Zimbabwe dollar. You can buy zillion-dollar Zimbabwe notes on eBay as novelty items. It’s a cautionary tale.

    Are we being led down that same road by the Pied Piper of Washington?
