Somewhere in a drawer here I have a Billion dollar note from some African nation from years ago. I think it roughly converts to about $100 here in Australia.

- KozmoNau7 7y agoThat sounds like Zimbabwe dollars. I have a 100 trillion dollar note somewhere, and a stack of 200 million dollar notes. They're worth a lot more now as collector's items, than they ever were as actual currency.
- kilroy123 7y agoNot really. I was just in Zimbabwe and on many street corners they try to sell you one for like $1-2 USD.
- xyzzyz 7y agoYeah, but going to Zimbabwe to get them for cheap is expensive for anyone not already in Zimbabwe.
- chiph 7y agoI bought a couple as a gift for my banker brother-in-law and got them framed. The owner of the frame shop was concerned about keeping them in his store, but then I explained that the frame he was making for me was worth more than they were.
- spookyuser 7y agoMy dad laminated his for some pretty cool looking bookmarks
- JJMcJ 7y agoStamp collector friend has Weimar inflation postage stamps in multi million Mark denominations, overprinted. Just regular stamps.
- grecy 7y agoI have a 100 trillion dollar note from Zimbabwe. When I was there locals have draws full of everything from 10 billion up to the 100 trillion note. They are utterly worthless now, except for tourists who pay $50 for them at Vic Falls. For anyone curious, I kept a single bank note from all of the 35 countries I recently drove through in Africa [1]. There are some really fun ones in there like the Congolese Franc, etc. [1] https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwGx7vljjv/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwGx7vljjv/
