How low (or high?) can you go?

(HT: Tyler Cowen) Zimbabwe's state is so abysmal:

Zimbabwe's chief statistician has said it is impossible to work out the country's latest inflation rate because of the lack of goods in shops. [..] September's inflation rate was put at almost 8,000%, the world's highest. [...] Mr Nyoni [the head statistician; TH] said the Central Statistical Office has delayed the release of the inflation figure until an accurate way of calculating it can be found.
