    This bill holds the record for the highest denomination ever printed in currency by any country in the world.

    Like GF said, they don't have their own currency anymore:

    Quote Originally Posted by Wikipedia

This was a result of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe legalizing the use of foreign currencies for transactions in January 2009.

    Currencies such as the South African rand, Botswana pula, pound sterling, euro, and the United States dollar are now used for all transactions in Zimbabwe; the policy of the government of Zimbabwe has insisted that any attempts to reintroduce Zimbabwean currency should be considered only if industrial output improves.

    Maybe America should learn something from us and stop with the sillyness. And I don't think it is just Obamas fault. He stepped into some deep shit after what other presidents left him. Especially when the repbs and dems are both being just ridiculous. They need to put on their big girl panties and get shit done and not just try to seal the deal for the next presidency and who has bigger politicock. Just my 2€ cents.

    You cant compare what happens in Finland to what happens here Jezter... We are much much larger ( I think we could 'population wise', fit your entire country inside 1/2 of the one state that I live in) It's a whole different set of parameters at play here.

    Your one city could maintain whole Finland!
    It is not just Finland you should learn from. From whole Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
    Can't compare directly and I wont. Am just saying that it wouldn't hurt to learn from something that obviously works and try to steer your country towards that.

    But you are still The United States of America. So Washington has the powahhh to make them big decisions, like raising taxes and cutting spending (quit the fucking wars already!!!), healthcare reform and hopefully doing something to the education system too. Tough decisions and not all people will like it, but no matter what you do, some people will always be against it. Just gotta make those tough calls. Hard to run so many states when every state is doing a little different thing over there...but still, the big decisions hafta be made to steer the whole big USA towards better tomorrow.
