Hey all. I thought I would start a thread about Zimbabwe notes because of their interesting high dollar amounts on them. I bought an uncirculated $10 trillion dollar note at a coin show today for $10. What do you think? Also, feel free to post your Zimbabwe notes!
0 because the didn't use dollar
The biggest ever printed (but not released) banknote is the Hungarian 1 billiarde billion Pengő bill (in shortscale = 1 sextillion or 10^21 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000), a 10^20 Pengő bill was circulating.
In August of '46 1 Forint was 400.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 Pengő
Yes, the biggest note ever printed in history is egi milliard bilpengo, printed in Hungary in 1946
Here is my note, sorry, photo made by mobile phone. It was bought as present for my son in October in London.
100 milliard dollars of Zimbabwe is the bigest ever printed note with zeros on the note (as you see hungarian note doesn't contain zero at all). This note is most expensive from all printed in Zimbabwe, as far as I know current price of this note is near 75 EUR. As far as I know a dealer from Iran has bought all such notes in press in Zimbabwe in the end of 1990th per 0.5 EUR per note. Now he is very rich person )))
A year ago I had offer from my dealer 220 EUR per such full set, but from that time 100 billion dollars increased in price from 30 to 75 EUR, so this set seems to have price near 275-300 EUR now, only 100 billion dollars is expensive, the rest notes cost 10 EUR +/-, provided they are in press.
Verweis : "ngdawa"I have this full set, plus the full set of 1994-2004.
Wow! That's really cool. Was it hard to find this?
at first my prime goal wasn't to complete the set, i just found the 100, 50 and 10 trillion dollar on an auction for less than $10, after that i just added a few rabdom nktes per buy and/or per swap. after a year and a half and had about haf the set - but all random. i then compleyed tje trillion dollar set by adding the $20 trillion..in total it took about 3 years maybe, abd the last notes i added was the 10,000 and 20,000 dollar bills..now i've noticed the 100 trillion dollar is soldnfor a lot more than i bought it for..and of course they are all in perfect unc condition
Due to the rising inflation, poorer countries like Zimbabwe have to issue notes that are highly denominated. Many a times, smaller denomination notes become worthless and are treated as scrap. We should be lucky that our economy is much better and we don’t have to face the hardships that these countries are facing. Other countries like Germany have also issued such high denomination notes during World Wars!
