My Zimbabwean colleague at work told me that when he was young, his parents were carrying bank notes in a wheelbarrel as they needed so many to buy some stuff. The wheel barrel had actually more value than its contents...
The economic situation of Zimbabwe is quite bad right now and all the prices are impressively high. Iceland or the other nordic countries look cheap in front of Zimbabwe... The situation seemed to be more "normal" in neighbouring Zambia.
