There's not that many banknote contests (and rightly so, since it is called COINcommunity) but this is for all the banknote collectors out there.  Here's the question: What is the largest value banknote currently manufactured for circulation (whether it is widespread or rare) in the world today? -this means that it doesn't have the largest number, but the highest exchange value -it has to circulate NOW, meaning that it can not be withdrawn from circulation or is currently being withdrawn (so no $10000, giants or titans) -is a real banknote issued by a real country -no commemoratives I need the series year, the country (or region or countries) and the denomination that the banknote carries. And preferably the K numbers Prize is an EF banknote from that country (or region or countries)! (or what country (or region or countries) I think it is...) Good luck!  Edited by wd1040

Nope, good try though. I guess the E500 would be the one that most people would guess, but I know that there's a few more that are higher.
Also, it's not a currency that has both a black market exchange and a interbank exchange.

I would say the Brunei $10,000 Ringgit it was issued in 2006 the exchange value is around $6,600 US

My guess would be the Singapore $10,000 banknote. This one is also in the same range as the note posted by onejinx.

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.
