Zimbabwe releases $10 million bill

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

First off, it is technically illegal to bring the currency out of Zimbabwe. But they really can't do anything to stop you.

Second, you cannot get it at any foreign exchange. No way any exchange house will touch such a volatile currency.

I personally experienced the lunacy of all of this 18 months ago when I visited. I won $18,000,000 on a slot machine at Victoria Falls (about $70 at the time).

Always interesting when it costs you $15,000,000 for dinner.
