100 Trillion Zimbabwean Dollars Equals 40 U.S. Cents (see picture) by cuteboy2: 9:23pm On Jun 18, 2015
The Central Bank of Zimbabwe has announced a plan to completely phase out the Zimbabwean currency. Beginning on Monday, Zimbabwean bills can be exchanged for U.S. dollars at the rate of 175 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars for every $1 US Dollar.

That means a holder of a 100 trillion bank note will only get 40 cents in US Currency.

Zimbabwe abandoned its currency in 2009 for a system based on the U.S. dollar and the South African Rand.

At the time even street hawkers refused to accept the country’s highest note of $100 trillion. At the peak of the nation's inflation, Zimbabweans had to carry plastic bags full of money to buy basic goods like bread and milk. Prices of goods were rising at least twice a day.

Some members of President Robert Mugabe’s party, the ZANU-PF, have called for the return of the Zimbabwean dollar.

However, even the country’s Finance Minister, Patrick Chinamasa, has repeatedly said that the U.S. dollar “is here to stay.”

Just to prove that these people are all trillionaires. Let us do some Zim mathematics:

Let us assume every Zim should be worth at least 1US $

If 40 cents (0.4 US$) = 100 trillion Zim $
Therefore, 1US$ = 100 trillion Zim $ /0.4 = 250 trillion Zim $.

See what I mean??
They are all rich folks grin grin grin

Here is where the problem is

Mugabe in the year 2000 began taking over white owned farms...anmd redistributing it to black farmers.

While it was a good idea....it also wrecked the basis of Zimbabwe's economy.

Zimbabwe prior to the takeovers was heavily reliant on agric exports for forex. With the takeover....that source of forex...ie dollars....to back up the local currency vanished.

As a result....inflation started....which was made worse by continued overprinting to make up for cash losses....because there is no forex to back up the currency.


A big lesson for Nigeria (yes...Nigeria should be learning here!)......over-reliance on selling raw materials is not good for your economy.

That's why I prefer oyibo man rulership, your country will grow. See how south Africa is like Europe and Nigeria is like ghetto. Thanx to longer oyibo rulership.

How was the seizure & redistribution a good idea

Perhaps the Hausas need to also seize & redistribute the land owned now by Fulanis following their CONQUEST over them less than 300 years ago, abi

100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars = 40 cents
Since 1 cent = 2 naira
Therefore, 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars = 80 Naira

I have 250 naira right now which is roughly 300 trillion Zimbabwean dollars. Who say na only Otedola and Dangote rich? I am moving to Zimbabwe abeg grin grin grin
