jtryka Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I love how they describe it as a "cash shortage" when it's nothing more than hyperinflation driving out real cash (dollars, euros, gold etc.) and the government is devaluing the currency faster than it can be printed!

Conder101 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 If they just issued the $100,000,000,000 notes in mid July, and then chopped 10 zeros off Aug 1st, will the notes be a short lived item and an interesting ( and potentially difficult) specimen to acquire? I think I'll check eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott B Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 If they just issued the $100,000,000,000 notes in mid July, and then chopped 10 zeros off Aug 1st, will the notes be a short lived item and an interesting ( and potentially difficult) specimen to acquire? I think I'll check eBay. I saw a story somewhere that the Z$100 billion note was worth just less than US$1. Prices for the notes on eBay are going $70-150 depending on the note or if you had the entire billion dollar series. The notes are worth more as collectibles than as circulating currency!!
