Then came a 50,000 Dollar note…….The 500,000 and 1,000,000 (new currency) notes have been released 11 November 2008 courtesy www.zimbabwesituation.com
The country's currency plunged to a new record low, trading at an average Z$28,4 quadrillion to the US dollar and triggering massive price increases.
The hyperinflation is now estimated at over a quintillion percent, although no one really knows.
