I saw some think on Wikipedia about a 100-billion dollar banknote and laughed pretty hard. That's only $5.40 CAD, lmfao.
Owned so hard.
Also, that is a pretty goddamn amazing receipt. I like how there's barely any space for the item.

I'd like to point out that their money is in the form of "bearer cheques" rather than actual banknotes
lmfao
this means it's temporary/has an expiration date

I was playing with this and a currency converter the other day, after hearing of their hundred billion dollar note. I'm a trillionaire.
They still have $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills in circulation, but you'd need a few million to actually buy anything with them.

I'd find someone stupid and trade a Z$100 ZWD bill for a $20 CAD bill.

Any smart Zimbabwan would start selling $250,000,000 notes to Westerners like us (Who find it amusing) on eBay for a hefty profit about now.
Actually I just checked, and they already are. Saw a million dollar note selling for $10.50 with 18 bids.
I'm a genius

No, if you were a genius, you would have bought one at the currency exchange counter, and then sold it on ebay yourself.

Zimbabwe is so epic
like 90% of their kids die in childbirth and girls walk 50 miles to school in groups so they won't get raped
really all of the money goes to keeping Robert Mugabe alive
that is how amazing he is; he can have 40 million people starving themselves so they can pay for the daily peptobismol
