Someone knows where's the whole thing?

Found this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRET1fHLWdE) but it doesn't have the part shown in the video.

Well, that makes sense. Inflation, debt, loss of value in its entirety.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what other countries are heading towards in the future.

Almost laughable, really. Large bundles of cash are only equal to $400...

Maybe bread is 1/2 a bundle.

Haha that is hilarious, but in a really dark way. Currencies in developing countries devalue incredibly fast and are abused by the government far worse than we have here. I have a 100 billion Zimbabwe dollars note from Amazon.com in my wallet, it makes for great small talk.

Haha yeah you're right. This is probably what going for some groceries looks like in Zimbabwe.
