Wow... that was quick! I was actually looking for the Singapore $10000, but because it's exchanged at a 1:1 ratio, I guess you're right.  But the question is: is there a higher one? I just really want to know the answer. I'll let this go on for another day to see if there's anyone else, but if there's no one with a higher note, I'll PM you Monday at 5 o'clock pacific (I think 8 o'clock forum) asking for your address. Here's the note, by the way. It's the best shaped one I have, but it has quarter creases.   Edited by wd1040

XE has both the Brunei and the Singapore note at the exact same conversion rate.

It took me a while to recall the answer.
My most worthless bank note has to be the 100,000,000 note from Zimbabwe.

How did you get the $100 million? Did you actually go to Zimbabwe?

No, I have only been in Namibia and South Africa. I did want to go Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls but the situation down there is not good for such a trip. Ended up getting the banknote on ebay in the UK. Here is a pic of two Zimbabwe banknotes.  I would suggest to anyone going to Africa for a holiday consider Namibia as a place to visit. Ken |

Just realized that my Zimbabwe banknote is for 100 billion not 100 million.

Right... does anyone know of a higher valued note?
If not, then onejinx gets it because he answered earlier (sorry, kena)

I never knew that the Singapore and Brunei monies were traded 1 for 1. Are the currencies linked in any manner?
For example, the South Africa Rand is linked to the Namibia Dollar. You can use the South Africa rand notes in Namibia but can't use Namibia dollars in South Africa.

Yes, these currencies are linked for almost 20 years, and they have recently released a commemorative for the 20 year mark.
In Singapore you can sometimes find coins from Brunei, as they are 1:1 and the same size. You can use the banknotes in some large stores, but you can also freely exchange Brunei Ringgit at any bank, whether you are a customer or not.
Also, PM sent to onejinx. Congrats!

Thanks for the note wd.
As for the $100,000 note it never was in circulation, it was only used between fed branches.
