Zimbabwe and hyperinflation

[Silver]

Silver and Gold sung by Burl Ives in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth

Also valued because it can't be printed by dictators and oligarchs drunk with the lust for power. Y'all should have listened to ol' Uncle Burl.

That is in Zimbabwe Dollars of course.

New currency began circulating in Venezuela this week, the 500, 5,000 and 20,000 bolivar notes appearing first and which, many have pointed out, are barely enough to purchase even the cheapest of items, reports Orlando Avendaño for the PanAm Post.

The 20,000 bolivar note can only buy, for example, two Big Macs at McDonalds.

The sandwich costs about 8,000 bolivars now, though two weeks ago it cost only 6,000.

This is what hyperinflation looks like.
