Worthless Trillion Dollar Paper
By Mike Hewitt

Recently Zimbabwe announced that it will issue a new set of notes which will include a 10 trillion, 20 trillion, 50 trillion and 100 trillion denomination. One commentator stated that these notes will be introduced to "keep pace with the hyperinflation that has caused many to abandon the country's currency."

This makes about as much sense as a doctor saying he will give his patient a larger dose of heroin to battle his addiction.
******************

Why don't they just slap a zimbabwe dollar value on rolls of bathroom tissue? Make every roll worht ZIM$1 billion or so. At least this new "money" would always have some kind of value.

I change with the times-
but like silver coins found in your change
I stay the same.
*****************
The United States of America started out as the new Republic of Rome.

Will The United States of America end up as the New Imperial Rome?
