Bank Notes Only Dr. Evil Could Love: 100 TRILLION DOLLARS!!!
I was in Brazil & Bolivia in the late 80s, when the inflation rate in those countries was somewhere between 5,000 and 20,000%. I lived through the 1,500% inflation in Venezuela.
It was not fun.
My grandfather had old, flimsy Deutschmarks from the Weimar Republic, showing the massive inflation. But even those paled in comparison to the crazy denominations on these bills from Zimbabwe. Seriously, WTF?? They look like they’re fairly decently printed … but Christ, these are basically totally play money. Look for ‘em on eBay - there are a bunch now listed, because Zimbabwe is basically following Ecuador, El Salvador and other countries and just using the U.S. dollar, because that’s the only currency that’s actually worth anything there anyway.
Buy these and give them to the paranoid, gun-fetish Goldbug Fox News-watching uncle you want to afflict with night sweats and hoarding behavior.
