If you like them, it was a good purchase. Pretty good picture, somebody here will want a picture of the backs, also.  |

Looks good. I have some large denominations myself. Some years ago I found $800 (Zimbabwe) and that is when I found out about the fleet footed inflation in Zimbabwe. The $800 was worth about $5 (Australian)and it got worse. No wonder they just through it in the bin.

Nice. Fun Fact: the Zimbabwe government only has US$217 left in its treasury, no wonder their money is so inflated.

Hmm, "their money" is a bit misleading. Zimbabwe basically suspended its currency about four years ago. Guess it did not make sense any more to introduce new denominations every few weeks ...

Last I've read, they currently use a lot of US coinage in commerce. Even $1 is a lot of money there for small purchases. I think they are healthy reminders of what can happen if your country isn't kept in check. |

A friend from South Africa sent me a photo taken a few years ago in a public washroom in the north of the country - there was a sign telling people to flush only tissue paper down the toilet and NOT Zimbabwe dollars! Not sure if this was a joke or if people were really using Zim dollars for that purpose!
I have Zimbabwe notes up to 100 trillion dollars, sent to me by an old college friend who lives there!

A sign that a currency is in trouble when they start printing billions and trillions. I have some my self. They don't use the Zimbabwe Dollar any more. Apparently the US Dollar and South African Rand.
