Following up on my previous posting about what you can buy with a trillion dollars, I actually bid on some Zimbabwean currency on ebay.. I just received my freshly minted Zimbabwean currency and can officially say that I am a trillionaire 
.. As any trillionaire would wonder.. what do I do with all this money now ..
Vinay,
Turkey also has similar million dollar currencies until 2005. A kid can buy a single candy with a Million dollar lira..When I met a colleague from Turkey in 2003, I was suggesting him that why don’t their country re-baseline their currency and start over…that’s what they did in 2005..they removed 6 zeroes from their old currency Lira and started calling the new currency the NEW LIRA. Probably Zimbabwe will do the same once things get stabilized for them.

No kidding.. imagine buy a candy for a million bucks
.. I went through the same scenario when I was in Russia, but we only had to take off two zeros and not 6 zeros
