See what a Hexdecillion looks like


Hexdecillion

SWRadio Africa had a story on inflation on their website yesterday:

The country’s official inflation rate hit 2.2 million percent on Wednesday. Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono revealed the new figures in Harare but a respected economist believes the rate could be as high as 15 million percent. Zimbabwe’s annual rate of inflation is the highest in the world.

SWRA point out that “with the Zim dollar losing about 100 billion dollars a day to the UK pound, it won’t be long before we start counting in Quadrillions”.

They had this image on the front page, showing what a hexdecillion looks like.
