How about Zimbabwe, where the rate of inflation is 11,200,000%? That's the official rate; the actual rate is believed to be even worse. If anyone can be found that's willing to accept or exchange the currency.

In February a loaf of bread there cost 200,000 Zimbabwe dollars. Monday, that same loaf of bread cost over 1 trillion Z-dollars.

I just can't imagine it. At that point it would probably be better to just use the currency for toilet paper.

You always have to look at the bright side. The waitress's make a killing. With just a 10% tip they made $124,325,500.00 not bad for a days work.
