Title: The Day of the Dollar - Full
Post by: MB_722 on January 25, 2008, 09:41:39 PM
here is the whole thing


Quote
Do we live on a bubble? Is it possible for the heavily indebted American economy to collapse and take all of us down in a free fall with it? Have the days of the dollar been counted? Is it really unimaginable that we will see the time of the Great Depression repeating itself?
VPRO Backlight and Dutch national newspaper NRC Handelsblad present this 'what if' scenario. What if the dollar collapses? Fiction meets facts in this 24 hour scenario. At 9AM a Singapore trader is ordered to sell a large amount of dollars, which sends off the enormous downfall of the dollar. This film shows the results for the world economy every following hour. It ends in Amsterdam, where the only currency accepted by a taxi driver is sigarettes...
History seems to have caught up with this 2005 film, though in slow-motion...

Great video, once again.

This here is Zimbabwe's currency(and not even the largest denomination).  There is another nation that has been adding zeroes to its currency.  I can't quite place it, but I think it is nestled somewhere in the middle of the North American continent.  Hmmm...
