  1. they are doing that in zimbabwe or however you spell it.  the reason behind this is mega inflation.  let me give you an example.  lets say that the US suddenly made a whole bunch of money and the economy went skyward.  now, in this make believe world, everyone is  atleast a millionaire.  now that everyone has a million dollars, companies that make bread can't afford to sell a loaf of bread for a dollar, because proportionally  a dollar doesnt mean that much money.  and because people can afford to pay more, lets say they make a loaf of bread cost a hundred dollars. because lets be honest, if you have a few million dollars and you make that much money a year, a hundred dollars isnt really that much money.    well since the price of bread jumped a hundred percent from 1 dollar to 100 dollars, the same goes for everything else.  now a 10,000 dollar car costs 1,000,000 dollars.   so if a loaf of bread costs a hundred dollars, it seems kind of silly to keep having a 1 dollar bill, cause you would need a hundred of those to just buy bread.  so instead, they stop making that and they start making a 1,000 dollar bill.  and maybe they stop making 5's and 10's and make a 5,000 and a 10,000 bill.

    well this is basically what happened, but on amuch bigger scale thats why they have had to make a billion dollar bill.  crazy huh

    i looked it up on www.xe.com

    and here is the suprise

    100,000,000,000 is the equivalent of about 5 american dollars.  so any 10 year old in america could go there and afford atleast one of those notes


  2. a trillion dollar bill?

    yeah that's really stupid.

  3. So the Walton (Walmart) family won't get a backache carrying all their cash around....
