Why isn't the Z$100bn note "still not enough to buy a loaf of bread."

Question

I just don't get it, why do they make all these new notes if it can't buy some bread? Why do they still have the Z$1?

Answer 1

The problem is the rate of inflation in Zambia which has brought down the value of Zambian Dollars.

Answer 2

This is what you get when you have a government forcing one race of people to "pay back" another race for discrimination and oppression generations ago.

Answer 3

Because of terrible inflation. By nighttime, the prices rise since mid-day for everything.

Their inflation rate is WAY past triple digits. its obscene. So things that used to cost a dollar now cost 50000 dollars by night (im just making an example). To help people be able to pay for it, they make bigger denominations (the 100bn dollar note). its just so people don't have to bring in wheelbarrows of 1 dollar notes (that happened in germany after ww1)
