Someone called Gina posted this interesting comment on the Zimbabwe Solidarity Forum list serv recently:

I read today about a primary school teacher working across the border to raise South African Rand because she can’t use worthless Zimbabwe money. I wonder if she knew that the 100 Billion Zimbabwe dollar note is selling for $45 dollars Australian on e-bay. That’s $30 US  or 1,121,949,240 Z$. Zimbabwe Dollar notes from $1 to $1,000,000 sell for about $35 US. I find it incredible that coin and note collectors are paying so much for Zimbabwe money on e-bay when those that live there say it is cheaper to burn than newspaper.
