Yeah, they redenominated the money in February; 1 new Zimbabwe dollar is worth 1 trillion old Zimbabwe dollars.  50 billion in old Zimbabwe dollars is about 1/50 of a US penny.

the U.S dollar (incidentally) used to be around 1/50th of the British sterling. before the Economy developed bugs, and started lagging.

Perhaps but some countries because of inflation basically increase the value of their dollar. (to put it confusingly)

Then again it was a 50 billion bank note and not a 50 billion dollar bill.

if you recycle the paper, the few pennies you earn that way might be JUST enough to buy THAT ONE coffee that is needed to raise your programming ability to JUST THAT level needed to finish this version in about 3 and a half hours
