And if you left the bundles of money in the wheelbarrow for a while, you found out that the money got discarded and your wheelbarrow stolen. The wheelbarrow was far more valuable. :-)

Wow. Is that more than a gazzilion?
reply
🤔 I had no idea what 'gazzillion' meant, so I had to look it up.
gazillion, number, informal UK /ɡəˈzɪl.jən/ US /ɡəˈzɪl.jən/a very large, but not an exact, number:
- If you look online, you’ll find a gazillion recipes for chicken.
- He has sold a gazillion records and won enough awards to fill a museum.
- I'll be watching the Super Bowl tonight, just like gazillions of other Americans.

Yeah - it was a joke on my part but a great word to have at your disposal.

That’s pretty cool. Is it a million or something?
I have some random bank notes I have collected over the years. My favourite is an Iraqi Dinar.. very smug Saddam Hussein looking like he has snuck one out while his portrait was being finished..

I'm afraid many other countries will be experiencing a similar disaster soon.

With inflation at 100,000 percent, few can afford even basic goods.
