Zimbabwe introduced a new ticket for $ 500 million

The average salary of a civil servant went up from Z$100 million in December 2007 to Z$500 million in February 2008. Salaries were revised again last week: a government employee can now take home more than Z$4billion a month. The spending power of farmers and transport operators, who have access to subsidised fuel has also increased: they pay Z$70,000 per litre, while ordinary Zimbabweans have to fork out Z$70 million per litre for fuel, when available.
