ZIMBABWE NOTES IN THE NEWS AGAIN
Last week we reported that a barber in the U.K. had received as a tip a 100 trillion dollar banknote from Zimbabwe. Well, this week there's a report about a shop in Lafayette, Indiana that has several, but they are being used to promote gold sales to buyers fearful of inflation.

"Hundred trillion dollar bank note from Zimbabwe. It's in a third issue of four and it was replaced in June," Ram Z's floor manager Chad Ramsey said. Because of inflation, the one hundred trillion dollar note at Ram Z's Exchange might be able to buy you breakfast. "It was at the time only worth about 33 cents," Ramsey said. "They really don't have any value. Just for the nostalgia of having a bill that is just a hundred trillion dollar bill." Randy Ramsey said there have been many customers coming into Ram Z's to buy and invest in gold and silver because of their fear of inflation in the United States. " In the last year, we have had people coming in, some come in on a weekly basis, to buy a piece of gold, to buy a piece of silver. And other people are able to buy larger quantities. I think it is an indication with their concerns as well for our U. S. Dollar, printing so much with out much to back it," Randy said.
