Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
A set of six Zimbabwean 100 trillion dollar banknotes from 2008. The obverse features the denomination in large text and a promise to pay. The reverse depicts a waterfall, a common motif on Zimbabwean currency. These notes represent the peak of Zimbabwean hyperinflation, with astronomical denominations issued.
History
Zimbabwe experienced severe hyperinflation in the late 2000s, leading to the issuance of increasingly high-denomination banknotes. The 100 trillion dollar note was among the last before the abandonment of the Zimbabwean dollar. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe was responsible for issuing these notes during a period of immense economic turmoil.
Facts
These notes are a stark symbol of economic collapse and hyperinflation. Their face value quickly became negligible due to rampant inflation. The sheer number of zeros on these notes makes them a unique and often shocking artifact of modern monetary history for collectors.
Value Fact
While the face value was immense, these notes are now collected for their historical significance and novelty. Prices can vary based on condition and serial number, but they are generally accessible to collectors interested in currency history and economic curiosities.
