Hollywood Pillar of the Community United States 1228 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 9:11 pm thought this was interesting. Due to hyper inflation the Zimbabwe finance minister has allowed people to use other currencies in place of their own. Feel free to read the above article and post any comments. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7859033.stm Report this Post to the Staff

MArainman Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 9:17 pm Wow. I'd like to get my hands on one of those 10 billion dollar notes to put with my post-WWI Germany notes and mid-90s Yugoslavia notes. How is worthless paper money going for $15 on ebay? Report this Post to the Staff

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 01/30/2009 10:27 pm Hey Podo, that was of the last series. That's worth I think $10 or $100 of the one they have now... Report this Post to the Staff
sfwusc Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 12:05 am Just think they have $100 T note... and they wiped out 10 zeros from the last series before printing that one. If they hadn't wiped out those zeros... that 100T note would be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in the old series. That is 1 x 10^28 there is only 6.022 x 10^23 atom in a mole of an element. -SWUSC Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 08:02 am Is there still hope for the greenback? Or will this lead to even more counterfeiting adding to the downward spiral of the US Dollar? Report this Post to the Staff
Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 08:17 am I have a Zimbabwe 1c coin from 1994. I don't know the last year it was made, but I guarantee that the value in melting the coin FAR exceeds the face value! Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 01/31/2009 08:23 am There also are 1995, 1997, 1999. Ten cent pieces made until 2003. Report this Post to the Staff
