I've heard this comment attributed to many people.
First YOU do some research and provide a specific reference  
supporting Darwin making the comment.

And your reward does not seem to be worth anything:

Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe
 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe has persisted since the early 2000s,  
shortly after that country's confiscation of white-owned farmland and  
its repudiation of debts to the International Monetary Fund. Figures  
from November 2008 estimated Zimbabwe's annual inflation rate at 89.7  
sextillion (1021) percent (i.e. prices double every 24.7 hours).[1]  
In April 2009, Zimbabwe abandoned printing of the Zimbabwean dollar,  
and the South African rand and US dollar became the standard  
currencies for exchange. The government does not intend to  
reintroduce the currency until 2010. [2]
