  • Did you know that Zimbabwe suffered from the most extreme hyperinflation in history? Yes, this $100 Trillion was a real banknote and it could barely buy you a load of bread a few years ago. I bought this banknote for $100 USD at a flea market, and then I went around Zimbabwe to see how many things I could buy with it! I hope you enjoy this fun budget challenge in one of Africa's greatest nations!

      ​@@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinskyyes! However, as governments do...they recall and invalidate old currency. Then they reset printers 🖨 and create new valid currency. The 100 trillion Zimbabwe currency has been invalidated, and coin shops sell it as a collectors item. You were just a little late to the game. 😂
      Everyone still loves a nice USD though. We'll see how long that will last in the USA 🇺🇸 though, before hyperinflation sets in.

    Hello Drew,
    I've been following you for many years, am a HUGE fan of yours and I'm thrilled that you finally visited my country. Yes, I'm a Zimbo (that's how we refer to ourselves here). However, I need to correct a few misconceptions from your video:
    1. There has never been a conflict between Zimbabwe and Zambia, I mean NEVER. In fact, Zimbabwe and Zambia used to be part of the same country during colonial times. It was called the Rhodesian Federation (or Central African Federation (CAF)), and it consisted of present-day Zimbabwe (Southern Rhodesia), Malawi (Nyasaland), and Zambia (Northern Rhodesia) between 1953 and 1963.
    2. The 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollar note belongs in a museum; it has been discontinued. Of course, it was printed during the periods of hyperinflation in 2008, but it was never worth US$100 as per your guide. In fact, it was only worth US$0.40.
    again thank you for visiting my country

    • @AM-mw2wu
      @AM-mw2wu Před 18 dny +1

      I'm from Zimbabwe as well and i agree with everything you say. Unfortunately some westerners not all of them though, like to create their own version of what goes on in Africa. And they paint Africa in a negative light. When you try to correct them, they get angry. They feel they have every right to rewrite African history and politics even though they have never lived in Africa.
      I had an American Christian woman saying on line what a dangerous place Africa is for Christians. She said ALL over Africa Christians are being ki lled by te770r1sts. I corrected her and told her that Southern Africa is where the majority of Christians in Africa live e.g.Zimbabwe, and we are very safe in Southern Africa. Only in some countries in Africa are Christians unsafe. This American woman got very angry with me and told me i don't personally own the truth about what goes on in Africa. Even though i was born in Zimbabwe and know Africa like other Africans do? 🤷This American woman has never even been to Africa by her own admission. What she knows about Africa is from other people who don't live in Africa either🤦
