If you are a Zimbabwean, it will get you USD30 worth of stuff!! Ran across this story ([http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7832601.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7832601.stm?ref=kudithipudi.org)) on BBC, about the government of Zimbabwe releasing a trillian dollar note to cope with inflation. Zimbabwe was one of the most stable and prosporous country in Africa, until [Robert Mugabe](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FMugabe?ref=kudithipudi.org), started to enforce his lunatic policies. I can never understand, why people allow such morons to rule them..

BTW, One[ trillion](http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/Numbers/Math/Mathematical%5FThinking/how%5Fbig%5Fis%5Fa%5Ftrillion.htm?ref=kudithipudi.org) has 12 zeros in it :-).. It looks like this..

> $1000000000000

I would like to get my hands on one of these notes.. just to look at it :). I tried a [search](http://shop.ebay.com/items/%5FW0QQ%5FnkwZzimbabweQ20100Q20billionQQ%5FarmrsZ1QQ%5FfromZR40QQ%5FmdoZ?ref=kudithipudi.org) on [Ebay](http://www.ebay.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org) and it looks like there is an active market for the Zimbabwean currency. At least Robert Mugabe managed to make a Zimbabwean product desirable :).
