It is the worlds largest bank note. It has no monetary value, but I ordered a few just because I thought it would make a cool gift. If you put 10 bills together I don't even know what you call that anymore.
Cheapest I found is through eBay. Couple site sell them for $10 a piece, but you can find it on eBay for $2 after shipping. I also picked up a Penny, through it would be cool to own the worlds most worthless minted money.
Finally I can reach my dream of being a trillionair!
I can do better than that, I have a 100 Zim dollar bill from 1997. These are "old" Zim dollars (although they were the new Zim dollar at the time). The Zim dollar has been devalued 1,000:1 and 100,000:1 since then I think, so my bill is worth 1 quintillionth as much as this worthless 100 trillion zim dollar bill. It's truly worth billions of times as much as toilet paper as at its face falue.

Show me $2 shipped on eBay. Cheapest I see is $2.99 shipped for singles...that seller offers buy 3 get 1...still not $2 each. I have been interested in picking up a couple of these since they were first introduced, but hate the thought of paying much at all for a worthless note.

Can't show you, because FW frowns on direct links to eBay.
But if you SEARCH eBay, using "100 Trillion Zimbabwe", you get TONS of hits.
Found 10 notes for 20 shipped (US seller), and 10 notes for 19.99 Shipped (UK Seller).
I know you said a couple, but.... if you pay 2.99 each, you can get 3 (your way). For about the same, and waiting for UK Seller, you can get 10!
*then sell a couple off to you friends for 2 bucks each (sell 4 or 5 and you now have the remainder for FREE!)*

Your looking at buy it now, most of these 100 million don't end over 2 dollars with bids, and free shipping.
You know, in Brazil during the 80s, inflation was so high prices had to be adjusted on goods hourly. Men would get paid 2x a day and quick have their wives run to the store with their morning pay before prices went up. Hyperinflation is hilarious to watch, not so much to be apart of.
Zimbabwe cancelled their currency, and is using the US dollar now
With US dollars being printed at a rapid pace, we may also see significant inflation in a couple of years. Only a matter of time before the world chooses another currency to trade commodities...

jtroye32 said: well if their economy completely does a 180 and Zimbabwe becomes a super power... hello yacht Nope, it's not legal tender anymore. They're trying to push to using US dollars. Also their economy is going to take a good many years, their national yearly export is like 278USD, yes just Two Hundred Seventy Eight Dollars.

I think that so long as oil (or energy in general) remains denominated in dollars, that won't happen. Probably the real reason we're overseas.
sharp point! US$ is an issue far beyond economics... lucky us, for now, and for the past 12 months...

Thanks, but if I remember correctly, these things are normally double sided. No? And it will still cost you paper and ink/toner but I assume it will be less than $2.

Technically, the hundred trillion dollar note issued by Zimbabwe (of which I have two) is not the largest denominated bill ever printed/issued. It does have the most zeros of any note ever printed, but the Hungarian 1 Milliard Billion pengo note in 1946 was the equivalent of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pengo (or one sextillion pengo). It was never issued, but the 100 Million Billion pengo was issued in 1946 with an equivalent value of 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 pengo (or 100 quintillion pengo).
Here's a link for the numismatists out there: link
Or instead, you could take the few dollars you'd spend (waste!) on these and give it to a local soup kitchen or other charity to help make the world a better place.
If you're so doubt the US economy you can still protect your treasury note. The US does have a Treasury Inflation Protected security (TIPS) so in 30 years (your call and TIPS is available in 30 years term) you can truck all that money to your chosen warehouses-assuming the US didn't come out with trillion dollar bill in which case you can simply pocket your money.
This is how it work. You'll buy the TIPS today-min $100- and in 30 years you can have the principal and interests back. The principal can be in term of the now value or the then value of the US treasure bill. So if your prediction is true the you would have 10 thousand trillion dollar-which is the equivalent of $100 now plus interested. Interested is accumulated every 6 month.
I know you meant as a joke but the FED has consider this scenario.

Seriously, I want 1000 or so of any 1 Billion or greater denomination to paper a wall with. I'm looking...and will post when I find a reasonable deal. If someone finds such a deal before me please post it for me!
