Paul from Kentucky flagged this: Zimbabweans dug out coins squirreled away years ago. The government has lopped off 10 zeros, with the new currency! The article begins: "Zimbabweans dug out coins squirreled away years ago in jars and cupboards and headed for the shops, where lines built up as overburdened tellers more accustomed to counting mounds of hyper-inflated dollar notes instead were juggling silver." Paul's comment: "I guess this is what happens when paper money is worthless. Back to using silver. Does this ring a bell for what you have been warning us about could happen here, with the US dollar?"
