The caption on the pic above reads:

Freakonomics reader Justin Dombrow sent in this receipt from a dinner his South African friend had at the Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe.

But Dombrow’s friend doesn’t have to be rich to pay one and a quarter billion Zimbabwe dollars (ZWD) for two beers, a mineral water, and one dinner.

Thanks to inflation, it comes out to just $2.70 in U.S. dollars (according to OANDA.com).

Zimbabwe’s severe inflation sparked a parody of the Million Dollar Homepage — The Million Zimbabwean Dollar Homepage (worth US $0.002159).
