The financial documentation they receive from Harare carries a caveat that 16 zeros have been removed from all numbers in order to have them fit in the spaces available....

Something has to give in that poor bloody country!
Remember that they revalued the currency in 2008 and dropped 10 zeros off. I don't know if they have done it since but I was able to get several 100 billion dollar notes from before the revaluation. How many times have you gotten $100,000,000,000.00 as a Christmas present?
