At least it more or less would buy the same things.

Here's something you can do for fun - click on more currencies, type 10000000 in the Convert box, United Kingdom in the from this currency box and Zimbabwe Dollar in the to this currency box.

Look at the amount.

Wait a few minutes.

Oops, meant that the other way around - 1000000 ZWD into UKP to find out how much it take you to become a Zimbabwe millionaire.

...

Now, at 20:31 it is: fifteen pounds, 97.506 pence.

Two more minutes and it's fifteen pounds, 97.484 pence.
