Adding to the shock the interbank exchange rate of US$ 1 was ZWD 925,825.00 as of December 17, 2008 (official figure from the same source).
There was a havoc kind of a situation here in India when the inflation rates were increasing steeply to11-12%. One can imagine what could be the situation there in Zimbabwe.
