Harare, Zimbabwe 18 November 2007.The government is preparing to introduce the 1 million Zimbabwean dollar bill, equivalent to 0.70 cent of a euro, according to the black market exchange rate on the day this picture was taken (the official rate was 1 euro = 41.000 zimdollars)..Hyperinflation, current at 8.000 %, generates eternal queues at the automatic tellers machines (ATM) of banks. People withdraw the maximum daily amount, since they know that, the following day, the same amount of money will not even worth the paper on which it was printed. ..Photo: EZEQUIEL SCAGNETTI © PHOTOSHELTER
