Highest denomination ever printed (not issued) is 1. milliárd B-pengÅ' (one sextillion or 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000). Pengo was replaced by Forint afterwards. This was the highest ever recorded hyperinflation. Here is the image:  However it is not widely known that the banknote with most zeros was probably made by schoolkids  (in Yugoslavia, during the 1993 hyperinflation). Since banknotes would become worthless in few days, kids would cut the zeroes out and duck tape them to beginning and the end of the note, making banknotes with hundred or more zeroes. They would then ask for the change in the stores. Shopkeepers would get very annoyed since they would hear that many times during the day.  I will see if I can find one and post the picture.

As we don't speak every language, it's more interesting to see the zeros than just letters.

Here is a great example of a uniface German hyper-inflationary notgeld issue from Bestwig, showing the usual face value in words and nicely for us, also in numerals:  We can see here that 10 milliarden mark is equal to 10,000 millionen mark.
