If I'm paying 1.2 Billion dollars for dinner and drinks, I sure as hell am going to be expecting a little sumthin sumthin at the end of the evening!

Well yeah but that's Zimbabwe Dollars from the look of it so really it's less than 2 million US$. A bargain I'm sure

Look at the top of the receipt - $52US.

I guess that could be a "u" if I imagine rushed sloppy penmanship. I was just going with the exchange rate for Z$ to US$ for the total.

It seemed obvious to me it was a till input error, just too many zeros hit.

Where'd you get that exchange rate from? As of July 2008 the annual inflation rate in Zimbabwe was estimated at 11,200,000%. They were paying billions for half a dozen eggs until revaluation!

A loaf of bread costs between Z$7,000 and Z$10,000, when it can be found. If they hadn't revalued, those figures would be billions, not thousands.

Just grabbed the first net currency converter I googled

I probably should have looked at the receipt date and based it on that
