People should just resort to a barter system instead of a currency which holds no monetary value.

I think the only way a ferrari can be had in that country is if the person buys it in italy and ships it back to zimbabwe, which would be bizzare because why would he still want to live there when the value of his money is decreasing at an exponential rate unless he was a corrupt government official or general.

I mean, I would much rather resort to the barter system of trade, or better yet, just trade in a different currency like USD. (I thought it is common for african/middle east countries to trade in USD?) | Well, it's not like they don't do any of that... they try to get rid of as much Z$ as they can by converting it to USD or gold or whatever... but I think the problem is the government is injecting so much money into the economy that inevitably the cash still has to float around for awhile...

Coin collectors will have zim bills. I bought one from a local shop also bought some Iraq currency with Sadam on it.

If they didn't do that, instead of the 100 trillion dollar bill that would be coming out, it would be the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1 septillion) bill.
Of course, they could once again drop a whole bunch of zeroes and make yet another new dollar, but they'll have to do it all over again a few months from now...
