- guy from our offices went there (from there originally).. change a little american money over, they handed him duffle bags full of money - colin Nov 20, 10:12
- What does that mean to the everyday life of the average p erson? how do they buy things? -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 10:04 12

        Yeah, I read in Time or Macleans that similar things were happening in Zim. Not sure if people have just given up on the money. -- nm - VMan Nov 20, 10:14
  - barter. -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 10:05 1

  - Barter or trade services I would guess. -- nm - VMan Nov 20, 10:04

  - it means your $1 loaf of bread would cost $796 million next month, I think. -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 10:09
  - According to this guy, it means prices double about every 5 1/4 days - Brian Nov 20, 10:06
  - With the 50%, yes. Now you need a truck full of money or a handful of Huge bills which are worthless the next day. -- nm - VMan Nov 20, 10:03
- What's a shittier place: Zimbabwe or Somalia? -- nm - Don Homer Nov 20, 09:58 2

        [deleted] 1
        
        I don't think you can broad-brush it like that. The Economist is against bailing out the car-makers for example. -- nm - Roger More Nov 20, 10:11

- I know the literal translation, but I imagine it has some legal definition that eludes me. (spoilers) - mafic Nov 20, 09:54 1
  - I knew I screwed it up a little -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 20, 09:58
- Ipsen did it -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 20, 09:52
