HARARE, Zimbabwe - Authorities in Zimbabwe have issued a new mega bank note in an attempt to cope with the troubled African country's runaway inflation.

The size of the new note - 50 million Zimbabwean dollars.

The new bill issued Friday is the third time in three months that the central bank in Harare has issued a higher denomination note in response to the country's 100,000 per cent annual inflating rate.

In practical terms, the $50-million bill is worth just US$1 in trading on Zimbabwe's widely used black market.

That means it can buy just three loaves of bread.

Wonder what A-Rod's salary is in Zimbabwean dollars?

I find 3 loaves of bread for a buck as more interesting....

I was a baker about 15 years ago and we sold three loaves of "farmer's bread" for a buck. It was mediocre, unsliced white bread, but it was fresh and not made from garbage.

What they don't tell you is that these is their loaves...

ARod is going to buy the country of Zimbabwe and convert it into his summer home.

I would just like to have one of those notes and try to use it here to buy something.

I wonder how many Tim Hortons I can buy with $50 million Zimbabwean dollars.

I think if America wanted to knock off a dictator, they'd get Mugabe.
Obviously Zimbabwe has no oil.
See that he got smashed in the election and he's calling it a draw?

Trying to fix it, they are taking so long to announce it.
