New Zimbabwe $50 million bill buys 3 loaves of bread


HARARE, Zimbabwe — Bread shoppers in Zimbabwe have millions of reasons to rue cascading inflation.

With inflation raging at more than 100,000 percent, a loaf of bread costs 16 million Zimbabwe dollars.

Now, Zimbabweans can buy three loaves with only one bank note. Authorities today introduced a new $50 million bank note, state media reported.

The new note is worth US$1 in widely used black market trading.

It was the third time in three months that the African nation's central bank issued a higher denomination note in response to record inflation.
