Funny Money: Unusual and Fascinating Currency

ONE HUNDRED TRILLION DOLLARS - Is it just me, or is that the exact same font used on the ROCK BAND video game?

I own a set of these notes - pretty amazingly to look at - but honestly - they're clearly not the most beautiful or well-designed money. No watermarks or carefully crafted art. It's clear they know these will be useless shortly - so there's not particularly interesting elements to the bills other than their high denominations.

3 Rocks!

I own one of these, as well as some other lower denominations of ZWD. This was useless when it was printed and now it's if possible even more useless since they removed quite a few zeroes some time ago. With today's exchange rate this bill would be worth 265745000000 USD, clearly that's not the case.

Hyper-inflation is great fun though, I also own a 500 million mark bill from Germany when they went through their bout of hyper-inflation quite a few decades ago.

I have quite a few of these which I got when I was in Zimbabwe a year ago. They're worth literally nothing as the country is using US dollars as its currency. When I was there they had just abandoned the Zimbabwe dollar and were converting cash machines to dispense US dollars.

Wow, that's quite the piece of history you have in your hands.

Please stop spreading your counterfeit bills, everyone knows the 1000 internet note has Serious Cat on it.
