Sorry for the topic necro but I was poking around ebay and other banknote sites to see if there were any recent additions to Zimbabwe paper money, and also poking around older related articles here on CCF. The answer to the OP's (trikdoutcobalt's) 4-year-old question at the time was "hold".  100T ZWR are currently going from anywhere from 150-200 USD on ebay. If memory serves that has been the going rate for a while now. So now might be the time to sell if you're looking for top dollar. I don't know if this "bubble" is ever going to burst or if these are the prices that we can expect to see for the long haul. I still need that 10k ZWR note but I'm glad I filled in all my other ZWR hyperinflation notes before the prices....inflated. |

The answer to the OP's (trikdoutcobalt's) 4-year-old question at the time was "hold". I'm not so sure about the wisdom of "holding." There was a collector on Numista offering UNC 100T notes for $40USD just a few months ago. They're trendy & anything but tough (very plentiful in fact). I know of a few world collectors who have multiples so I know I would be pretty motivated to sell if I had some. I remember when they were sold in bundles by Bank Note World & saw how their prices rose unexpectedly. I guess social media must have caused the sudden hysteria & demand over the past 6 or so years. But I have seen more sold at auction than ebay. I have seen the same listings re-listed by the same old sellers & ebay sellers can ask whatever they want. I have seen a lot of common other world notes listed for 20 - 50X what they were sold for just a year ago. That doesn't make it fair market value. (On Reddit I saw a post that some guy listed his notes high but doesn't care if they sell- he just likes to post them & use his listings like a website). The only 100T notes I have seen SELL have been on some auction sites and they're PMG top pop (not ungraded). I think it's fair to say that ebay has become a little more of the "wild, wild west." |

@w2dw, I did check "sold" listings to get my numbers. But it is the bay and you can definitely do better elsewhere. It's just that ebay is so darn conveninent. Regardless it is moot for me; I do not ever intend to sell mine. I had too much fun putting together my $Z collection and I still enjoy flipping through it. My son when he inherits it, on the other hand... |

The 2008 Zim notes are considered bonds and will be redeemed for an undetermined value during a currency reset.

IGE, that's the frist I've heard of anything like that. It is my understanding that the 2008 / hyperinflation notes (ZWR) were withdrawn on February 2nd, 2009 and replaced by the 4th dollar (ZWL) at a replacement ratio of 10^12 ZWR : 1 ZWL. They only have numismatic value at this point.
Bond notes were issued in 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2021. There is a new $100 bond note avaialble as of 2022.

Wow looks like they went up quite a bit over the years! I sold mine not too long after I first posted this topic. Sold the 100M, 100B, and 100T on ebay for around C$100. Still happy with that |

Estimated that the 2008 AA notes (bonds) will redeem at .30 per million$ on a contract rate. Does that include all the 2008 denominations? Are you saying that you could get $.30 ZWD per $1M ZWR? If so, assuming my math is correct (and it probably isn't), you could redeem a 2008 $100T note/bond for $30M ZWD (roughly equivalent to $83k USD)? 100,000,000,000,000 / 1,000,000 = 100,000,000 (or 100T/1M = 100M) 100,000,000 * 0.30 = 30,000,000 ZWD 30,000,000 ZWD = $82,895.83 USD Somehow I don't think that's right. My math must be way off. But if it's not you can be sure I'm cashing in my $100T. Papa needs a new pair of shoes. |

The 100 trillion note has been demonetized. If you had a domestic bank account, you would have received $1 US for every 35 quadrillion Zimbabwe dollars in 2015. Better off selling on ebay. I bought one many years ago in Chicago for $10 US. At the time it seemed expensive. At one time I wanted to get the whole set, but prices seem a little silly now. |

Also huge amounts of Chinese counterfeits . Apparently this Zimbabwe 100 Trillion note ( P-91) has been counterfeited once AGAIN. And this series of copies is far superior to the previous copied versions. This may explain why everyone seems to have a copy ( Numista Rarity Index of 16, lower than today's $50.00 CAD polymer bill NRI of 19!) So BUYER BEWARE!Read this Numista thread on how to ID the old & new fakes: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic164313.htmlEdited by walk2dwater

Our friends in China love to counterfeit everything. They have issued different counterfeits of these every year since 2023. Bank Note World has a great show and tell of what to look for in telling the genuine note from each year of counterfeits. https://www.banknoteworld.com/addit...it-info.html |
