#2 $78 for a loaf of bread? I don't think there's that much money left in the whole economy! Something's gotta be wrong here.

#5 Bob agrees...

He blames inflation on Western sanctions and greedy businessmen he claims are working in cahoots with the main opposition, the Movement for Democratic Change.

#9 There's the "official" exchange rate where the Zimbob cleptocracy will sell you Zimbobos. Don't expect to buy £s at the same rate unless you a VERY good friend of Bob.
