0:09 I'd like to contest this. As a Zimbabwean, what makes our story so, _so_ sad is that we were once the breadbasket of Africa, with some of the best educated people on the continent and a relatively good economy. That is what makes the disaster that followed so sad

The bank governor of Sri Lanka is confident that printing money doesn’t have an impact on the economy.
We have people like this leading us. Sad.

My father gave me a 750 000 Zim dollar bill when I was 12 years old. You can only imagine my disappointment when he told me how much it’s worth

On the plus side, Zimbabwean children who are too young to read or write, can do math in their heads out to 8 decimal points

As a Zimbabwean. Seeing this is crazy. Living in it and seeing it, is just so different.

When it’s cheaper to use the money as firewood than it is to buy actually firewood.

“Zimbabweans didn’t believe their currency had value, and therefore it didn’t”
Most profound sentence in the video

A friend of mine actually has one of these. His parents collect everything under the sun, they’re basically hoarders, but this bill is really cool. When I first saw it I assumed it was a joke but then my friend told me about the hyper inflation in Zimbabwe that devalued the currency.

Its rough when your own currency is cheaper than toilet paper.

Wtf, those phone calls I've been getting where I get a billion dollars from an african prince isn't a scam?!

"you can't just print more money!"
Zimbabwe's government: "haha money printer go brrrr"

3:28, this was such a stupid move that doomed them all. Zimbabwe has enough land to indoctrinate new local farmers, they should have done this and increased their farming population rather than trying to replace it. I have some Zimbabwean relatives who got a repossessed farm and they did nothing with it. Each year you could see it wither away until all the structures had crumbled and the farming area had turned to bush....mugabe shot his own country in the foot with this!
