Busfare: $1.6 million

That’s the current price in Zimbabwe, where inflation is 14,840% a year. The corrupt, braindead Mugabe government continues to make things worse by increasing price controls and even refusing to print money with more zeros on it because that would be an admission of failure. All of which would be comical if it weren’t so tragic.

A friend of mine went to Uganda during that country’s period of hyperinflation. He said the currency was so dvealued that when you exchanged your US$, they didn’t give you bills, the gave you BRICKS of bills. To buy anything of any consequence required a wheelbarrow.
