Zimbabwe introduces new $50 billion note

In August last year, the RBZ slashed ten zeros from the currency. But the zeroes have bounced back with more vigor.

That means in before August 2008 these would have been 500,000,000,000,000,000,000 notes. Yikes.

When will they start using scientific notation on the notes? I'd invest a few dollars at whatever exchange rate just to get a hold of some $10^23 notes.

That'd be just about a mole of currency. Yikes.

It would be simpler just to switch to a log scale.
