Opened.
I also looked at Ridiculous Exchange Rates' image, and... the image on Ridiculous Future Inflation can serve RER better than that page's current, which borders on JAFAAC due to no comparison.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportSounds like a good idea.
Panel 3 from this might work as a replacement, but how obviously is it from the future?
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"I think it could work at a pinch.
(Annoyed grunt)Agreed.
The holographic screen turning off during the third panel is enough to justify a future setting. So that can work.
I'm down with that too.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportActually, combine panel 1 and 3 and it would be perfectly clear and demonstrative of this trope.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.Check out my fanfiction!
Sounds good to me.
(Annoyed grunt)Yup, those two panels will convey the trope quite well, and I'm for the switch on Ridiculous Exchange Rates (the current is also a bit grainy, to boot).
+1 to use panels 1+3.
Ok, here's the comic cropped to include only those two panels:

Looks great.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportBump; any other thoughts?
Looks good.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.I think that's 8 in favor. Call this?
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Calling it. The new pic's swapped in and tagged. Caption?
Also, are we going to put the old pic on Ridiculous Exchange Rates as was suggested earlier? I'm down with it.

Seems a good idea.
(Annoyed grunt)Reaffirming support for that move.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Sounds good to me.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportDone and tagged. Locking up.
Old pic from that page:
As should be clear from the trope name, this is a sci-fi (or Time Travel) trope where the relative price of money is ridiculous. Zimbabwe is a contemporary country, which makes it an example of Ridiculous Exchange Rates and not this trope.
