Are You a Trillionaire?

The ongoing political crisis in Zimbabwe is fueling one of the highest rates of hyper-inflation that the world has perhaps ever known. With inflation at an estimated 50,000,000% during July, the government was forced to issue the world's first $100 billion bill. When issued, this note was worth about US$1.25 on the black market and bought one loaf of bread. The GDP per capita in Zimbabwe is just US$200 per year and plunging, with an unemployment rate of 80%.
