    100 Trillion Zimbabwean dollars for sale on Ebay...$4.95
    Unfukinreal, talk about barrelled in

    Does the government of Zimbabwe print these mainly as a joke just to sell to people in the developed world as a novelty? Their inflation rate is currently 231 MILLION PERCENT

        I was listening to paul Harvey one day on the radio and he had a segment on it.
        the punch line was that monopoly money is worth more than their currency.
        which is true. it cost more to print the monoploy money than the Zimb dollar is worth

            you no a currency is garbage when 1 bill represents 10% of the number system, if you held 11 of those bills or even 10, how would u describe how much money you possessed?

                  I bought one a few weeks ago.Take it to a bar and pretend you are a foreigner like Latka Gravison Taxi.Tell the bartender that you want to set the bar up with drinks.When he says it's not good money,tell him that at one time you could buy the biggest ranch in Zimbabwe with the 100 billion note.Do you notice that this failed currency doesn't have socialist dicator Mugabe's picture on it?I wonder why?hehe!

                                They are selling them on eBay for less than 5 bucks and the ad reads like you're doing the Zimbabweans a huge charitable favor by buying them for that price so in answer to Iwin's question this is what info Ive got

                                Zimbabwe recently issued new currency their "4th dollar" exchanging 1 trillion Zimbabwe 3rd dollars (the ones you can buy on eBay) for 1 Zimbabwe 4th dollar, currently it takes approx 82 Zimbabwe 4th dollars to equal 1 US Dollar so at that exchange rate 100 trillion Zimbabwe 3rd dollar bill would be worth $1.22 US

                                  In the Guardian, on 18 July 2008, a report on Zimbabwe's inflation, said that an egg costs ZW$50 billion (GBP 0.17, USD 0.32), and it showed adverts for prizes of Z$100 trillion in a Zimbabwean derby and ZW$1.2 quadrillion ($1,200,000,000,000,000.00: approx. GBP 2,100; USD 4,200) in a lottery. It also showed a monthly war pension currently is ZW$109 billion (GBP 0.37, USD 0.74), shops can only cash cheques if the customer writes double the amount, because the cost will go up by the time the cheque has cleared, and people can only withdraw a maximum of ZW$100 billion from cashpoints.[60]

                                      Currently, the government limits cash withdrawals to ZW$100 billion per day, which is less than the cost of a loaf of bread.[63] IT systems cannot handle such large numbers; the automated teller machines for one major bank give a "data overflow error" and freeze customers attempt to withdraw money with so many zeros.[64] That same day, the Institute of Commercial Management reported that ZW$1.2 trillion is worth the same as one British pound.[65]
