I’ve been accruing credit notes all round town. Mugabe has dollarised Zimbabwe and we don’t have any change. Yeah right, on both counts: no political change and no American coins. So when you go shopping and your bill is $8.20 the shop offers you a credit note instead of Real, Live Change.

I’ve just come across this very cool campaign which reminded me of all the useless Zimbabwean money I’ve got lying around.

From the web site Marklives! here’s more information:

Conceptualised and created by TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris, these billboards and posters for The Zimbabwean newspaper were made entirely of worthless Zimbabwean bank notes. The billboard is made up of trillions and trillions and trillions worth of Zim dollar notes, which worked out to be cheaper than using paper.
