Looks like Zimbabwe's heading the same way

Zimbabwe launches $200,000 note
Zimbabwe is to start circulating a new 200,000 Zimbabwe dollar note, in a bid to tackle the country's inflation, the highest in the world.
The new note, issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe from Wednesday, can buy 1kg (2.2lb) of sugar.
Food and fuel shortages have become common as the government relies more heavily on imports, pushing prices to new heights.
The official annual rate of inflation in Zimbabwe is nearing 5,000%.

5,000%!!!111!!11eleven!
So President Mugabe (Brits will appreciate that his name, backwards, is "E ba gum") is really excelling himself!
Still, at least road-sweepers in Zimbabwe are millionaires! Not something we imperialist western capitalist running dogs can say!
