HARARE (Reuters) - On online auction site eBay, a 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollar note is a collector's item fetching up to $35, a small fortune compared with the 40 U.S. cents on offer from the central bank as it seeks to officially bury the worthless currency. ........ Bank accounts with balances of up to 175 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars - that's 175,000,000,000,000,000 - will be paid $5. Those with higher balances will get a rate of $1 to 35 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars. Read more here... How does such currency denominations that high even come to exist in the first place?! Just knock off a couple zeros FFS. Did they just want to feel like they were rich when they read their bank balance?
If a country has an annual inflation rate of 500%, zeros need to be added to banknotes on a weekly basis. Germany had the same issue during WWII. Knocking off zeros is a costly affair - the local Central Bank has a budget of 20 million US $ for this last operation.....
Is it true why German written language has the words joined up so few spaces in between the words, is to save space on the paper. like Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
are you ready for this roughly translated cattle marking and beef labeling supervision duties delegation law
In Germanic languages it is generally if it is one thing, then it is one word. True of Afrikaans here.
