I am so so so pleased that the Govt has got off its arse and printed some more money, even though the notes are completely worthless. It is so encouraging to see these new notes, I am actually pissing in my pants with joy. I just can’t wait to be able to go to the bank or ATM and be able to withdraw a couple of thousand worthless Zimbabwe Dollar Bank notes and be able to go to the supermarket and pay cash instead of using the ripoff EcoCash or Bank Cards. Maybe I could get discount if I pay in cash. Wouldn’t that be nice?
They are no good as tissue paper because of the rough material used in their construction/design!!
