Last week Zimbabwe’s central bank began circulating Z$10, Z$20 and Z$50 billion notes – but they are no longer sufficient. They are now going to print 100 Trillion Zim$ bank notes, equal to about �20 today but devalueing fast. Inflation is currently said to be 231,000,000% but many believe it to be greater than this! In a couple of weeks time I expect to read that 100 Billion Trillion Zim$ notes are to introduced.

Zim$ bank notes have a picture of balancing rocks on them; balancing rocks are a feature of the Zimbabwean landscape. Here are a couple of pictures of balancing rocks I took in Zimbabwe. The first picture bears a striking similarity to the rocks on the bank note.
