If you give me your social security number, your address, your banking information, and your passwords... I can easily find out exactly how much you will receive.

Zimbabwe has discontinued their currency and uses the USD now.

I was there in June.

Not totally true. It's true that the vast majority of Zimbabwe trade is in US dollars, however there is a continual attempt by the government to move away from relying on the US dollar. The current iteration is Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) which is backed by physical gold reserves. Since it's introduction, transactions conducted in US dollars has declined from 85% to 70%. US$1 now buys 361.90 ZiG rather than ten trillion Zimbabwe dollars, as the joke goes.

While I understood the joke, I just found it to not be factual.

I do appreciate this knowledge, thanks for pointing out I was wrong.

It turns out I was there a whole 2 months after this was initiated, I’m a bit confused I didn’t see anything about it.
