Pang Sai Chua

How were your Chinese New Year break everybody? Heheh... I hope you all had a great time (With lots of food too) cos I definitely did. I found these Zimbabwe dollars when I was going through some of my old stuff last week...

Thats $4 Zimbabwe Dollars there. As of today, the rate on the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe's website listed the currency value at:

FOREIGN CURRENCY RATES 30/01/2009

Interbank Exchange Rate
ZWD 7 039 188 034.00 per US$1

USD$1.00 = Z$ 7,039,188,034.00!!! Holy Cow! That means the toilet paper I used last night is even worth more than these 2 sheets???
