Fifty(sixty) billion double dollars . . . Did anyone else think 'Trigun' when they saw this post?

And, representing the health of the Economy of Zimbabwe, the currency includes a picture of what appears to be... a pile of stones. Nice.

After reading this article to my friend we had the following conversation

Him: Wait, Zimbabwe used to have a thriving economy?
Me: I think they meant in comparison to Africa.
Him: Oh.. well that's like saying you're the richest man in the Serengeti. 'How much do you have?' '2 rocks and a stick!'

And then we actually looked at the note and realized that, in fact, 50 billion dollars was worth THREE rocks and a stick.

I really, really want one of those notes, just to have.
