High Denomination Zimbabwe Banknotes Does anyone know where one can find these in ridiculously high denominations, say 100 million or higher? I know I could just wait until FRNs are printed in these denominations, but I'd like one now, as a teaching tool. TIA

Re: High Denomination Zimbabwe Banknotes I note with approval that they are using anti-counterfeiting features on their bills. With those bills worth almost as much as 2 squares of Charmin, the counterfeiting problem could get ugly.

That's the secondary reason why I bought the notes. I'm going to give my daughter one of them as a birthday present, sort of an object lesson about the danger of fiat money. I wouldn't waste giving one to my wife or parents, as they have a definite "can't happen here" mentality.

If somebody would have told them in January that before this year is done that: Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers would collapse. Countrywide would implode.

Last year I finally convinced her to move her 401k $$ to guaranteed interest bonds "just for a while, until we see how the economy is going to go." Her friends lost thier asses so she figures she's super smart now, as it was all her idea.:wink:

I'm guessing that no .gov would be willing to put 'sextillion' on a note simply because of the giggling it would cause in school children....

I bought a few of the Z$100 billion notes on eBay last week, for a souvenir. (I was in Zimbabwe 20 some-odd years ago. At the time the restaurants and shops wouldn't take the local currency, only US$ or GBP.) Anyway, the Z$100 billion notes are of higher quality than US paper. :banghead: I think the paper was supplied by a German banknote company.

As a foreigner I was always shocked what crappy paper the US uses as currency. It's appalling really.

Re: High Denomination Zimbabwe Banknotes 1 Attachment(s) I noticed while looking at these notes a few things: 1st. The words "Pay the bearer on demand" followed by a denomination then an "on or before a date" 2nd. An issue date only a few months before. I'm wondering if one cashes this "note" at the Reserve bank of Zimbabwe what are they paid in? Maybe rice grains... What if you try to redeem after "the on or before date"? maybe you are SOL?!

Not sure if that makes sense: http://www.junglephotos.com/africa/a...bnathist.shtml "Baobab wood is very fibrous and spongy, which helps it store water. When someone takes an axe to the tree, it literally bounces off! Chainsaws get clogged up and stop dead." What I did not realize is the coin baobab tree is practically a mirror image of the one in the Youtube video right next to it! I guess once you've seen one baobab, you've seen them all (this is actually not true, they can be quite unique, and there are different types)!

Tallships | 01-17-2009 01:09 AM
Re: High Denomination Zimbabwe Banknotes Maybe it was for the fretboard. I remember going to a guitar building class about a decade ago, and I am pretty sure my friend built his bass using baobob wood. It might have just been the fretboard though.

Re: High Denomination Zimbabwe Banknotes The really fun part is that the Zimbabwean "Fed" has revalued the notes on several occasions. This is where they declare that 1 new-new-new $Z dollar is worth 1 billion new-new $Z dollars. According to wikipedia once the revaluations are taken into account, the $Z dollar has inflated 10 to the 31st power times since the country first issued currency after the Brits left. This is literally a larger than astronomical number. It is aprox 14,000,000 times the observable universe as measured in inches. (186,000 X 12 X 3600 X 24 X 365 X 10^10th = 7.04 X 10^23rd).
