File under "They are about 1 year ahead of us." - Iran lops 0's off notes

Iran will soon lop off zeros on its banknotes to adjust for inflation.

10,000 rials = 1 USD

I didn't know that Iran was suffering such high inflation. It'll be a stirring moment here in the US if inflation gets so bad we lop a zero off our currency. Hopefully something like this will wake people up to the gigantic scam that's been raping them their whole lives.

I think you're getting way ahead of yourself.

They would have to print up the currency and add the zeros first.

As it stands, with only $1.1 trillion in print and only $960 billion in circulation, we are a long, long way from any of that.

Hell, the "dollar" will probably collapse long before they ever get to it...
