Christmas in Zimbabwe

While shooting "Man Shops Globe" in South Africa last week, I came across a man preparing to wallpaper his bathroom with currency from Zimbabwe. With 1 USD = 7500000000000000 old ZD, he figured the whole room would represent a value of less than 1 US dollar.

He gave me a 250 billion dollar note as a souvenir, which feels alot like monopoly money, and whose only design feature is what appears to be royalty free downloadable clip art of a giraffe (in the bottom right hand corner).
