In my question of a week or so ago, I asked people what the lowest denomination coin they'd be willing to reach into a public lavatory bowl would be. I was interested by the results, not least because they indicated that I could get a small crowd of my friends plunging their hands into suspect water for less than a tenner - money well spent in anybody's book.
Of this group,
token_limey and
baloobas indicated that they'd take the plunge (as it were) for a single Zimbabwean dollar.
In case you didn't know, thanks to hyperinflation the Zimbabwean dollar is the lowest value currency ever to exist; in the international currency markets, it is currently trading lower than the cowrie shell, the short sick and even the pebble with a single dollar being worth less than 0.0000000001 pence. It's the only currency I've ever seen with a best before date.
Still, as I've always wanted to be a millionnaire, I've made an acquisition:

So,
token_limey and
baloobas, get your sleeves rolled up. If you're willing to go bowl diving for a single dollar, I reckon you're going to be busy for a while.
*At close of trading yesterday, five hundred million Zimbabwean dollars was worth approximately 0.9 pence. My wallet feels all the heavier for it.
