GS displays in countries with "tiny" currency
« on: December 20, 2021, 11:10:43 AM »
Prompted by the US debut of Escape Perfecto Colombia, but also thinking back to all the great pre-euro Italian clips posted here, I'm momentarily fascinated with how scores are/were displayed in countries whose currency, for lack of a more scientific term, requires lots of zeroes.

Are there examples from other countries? Did, for example, Zimbabwe have any active GSs during its hyperhyperhyperinflation? ("Keep the 20 TRILLION DOLLARS, or play for this beautiful microwave?")

The Turkish version of Jeopardy was done at a time before the lira was re-denominated:

this clip claims to be from Zimbabwe



the Italian DoND in 2012 had a few "back to the 80s" episodes, with the prizes displayed in old currency (2000 lire to 1 euro) This is how the board would have looked like back in the day.
