Diver Down
Most people would find paying fifteen million dollars for a hamburger a sign that something's wrong. Most people, however, are not Robert Mugabe. When will it all end?
At the other end of the denominational-spectrum, I do have a Zimbabwean one-cent coin, from 1980, in the collection. Effectively worthless now, though I imagine the 2 or 3 grams of bronze in it might be worth a couple hundred Zimbabwean dollars by now!
Not that that makes it any less worthless!

Mugabe recently declared that, under his overthrown predecessor Ian Smith, whites ate steak while blacks ate gruel. Of course, he didn't mention that, under his enlightened leadership, Mugabe eats steak, his troops eat gruel, and everyone else eats dirt.

Yet there are some that still support him (outside of his cronies, that is).
