I know this is somewhat off topic for a business technology blog but its so strangely awesome that I had to share it with you so I hope you enjoy.

It’s not everyday that someone offers you one hundred trillion dollars so I took some photos to prove it.

My colleague has been tracking the decline of the Zimbabwean dollar from 2002 to 2009. The currency has been steadily and then very rapidly declining in value until it was finally abandoned in favour of the American dollar.

The photo is a timeline of bank notes between that period.

This wiki article tell how hyperinflation got so out of control in the first place.
