The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe are preparing to issue a $500 billion note which is equal to less than 4 U.S. dollars.
But due to cash shortages, Zimbabweans are finding it difficult to get hold of currency to purchase essential goods. At present people are limited to withdrawing $100 billion a day which isn't enough to buy a loaf of bread.
Zimbabwe Introduces $100 Billion Banknotes
With inflation spiralling out of control, Zimbabwe has introduced a $100 billion note (CNN has a photo of a $500 million note). $100 billion is the equivalent to one U.S. dollar and is enough to buy four oranges.
