South Sudan to introduce new 500-pound note
The Bank of South Sudan (don't bother clicking the link, they still haven't got a proper website) has announced it will introduce a new 500-pound note "soon". The introduction of the new 500-pound banknote, which will be the highest-domination note in circulation in the country, comes as a direct result of the soaring inflation four-and half-year after the beginning of civil war.
On the black market at the moment, one U.S. dollar is exchanged for 300 South Sudanese pounds.
