Inflation is high...

... but Zimbabwe is in a galaxy of its own.

Once one of the strongest economies in Africa went to hell under Mugabe. Estimates of inflation are up to 1.5 million percent (yes, 1,500,000%) and the latest reports apparently show 1 million percent inflation.

They have raised this topic also on Mock the Week show on BBC. Definitely not PC, but hilarious... although you do need a good stomach at certain moments. A good point on Zimbabwe and the international community response was made in the 7 minute (6.15 onwards).
