Title: Zimbabwe Banknotes: 10 Trillion Dollar Banknotes - .115 BTC shipped
Post by: johnniewalker on January 12, 2013, 11:11:00 AM
9 Bills Left, .115BTC/eaBTC shipped anywhere in US!
I imagine most people know the story behind this. If you don't, type "Zimbabwe Banknotes" in a YouTube search.
People are actually selling things like Silver and Gold to buy these things. There is even talk about the US investing in Zimbabwe. Legally you must "Pay The Bearer". I just hope the country that takes control of Zimbabwe someday will honor these-because that WILL happen lol.

I have
1x 1 Billion Banknote: .30BTC
10x 10 Trillion Banknotes: .32BTC/ea [9 AVAILABLE].29BTC.24 BTC/ea shipped!
1x 50 Trillion Banknote: .35BTC [SOLD]

Prices include shipping!

Please PM if interested. Thanks for reading!

I'd really prefer to be a zillionaire, but trillionaire seems pretty dope also.

Shoot me a PM.

There is absolutely no chance that these notes will ever have any value beyond their collectible value. The only reason that people buy them is for the novelty of having real currency will absurd values.

They are fun to show friends, especially the 100 trillion dollar notes! People who believe that there is no way that the dollar could ever become worthless might think twice after seeing these. The U.S. has already started down this road with talk of a 1 trillion dollar coin.

1 trillion coin is actually GOOD - it means that the Govt won't need to pay the feds interest.

I think Zimbabwe is the US somewhere down the line-hopefully not our lifetime. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ubJp6rmUYM
(Summary: In Zimbabwe, banknotes are only worth the paper they're printed on. Although, the notes shown in the film were of much smaller denomination; 20, 50, etc. So, to buy literally anything you have to pay in gold. So everyone mines gold all day, everyday. 1 loaf of bread goes for .1 gram of gold)
Yes, these notes are  a novelty. Even the coin/paper money collecting world has embraced them for their absurd nature. So whats funny is these things are worth money-and will probably be worth more soon. They're all over eBay for several dollars a note.
What I'm curious about is how that guy who does the YouTube video got all of his notes. Because even though the whole thing is a joke, he has A LOT of banknotes. Know what else is sad? I have seen a few videos where people are actually investing in these banknotes. They've sold all their silver and gold to buy these things and they're just waiting til "the US invests in Zimbabwe banknotes". Some people are SO DUMB.

Well, it is true that ZAR is used by Zimbabwe, but ZAR is the currency of South Africa (the South African Rand). Zimbabwe currently has no currency of its own.

Yes but the exchange rate is 10,000,000,000,000 for 0.0006USD. Even 100,000,000,000,000 is less than one cent.

And the fixing is quite different for any day.

I'm curious where you get this information. My understanding is that all forms of the Zimbabwe dollar are worthless, and these notes only sell for their collectible/novelty value.

Nope, it was all printed by the government of Zimbabwe and is thus legal tender. Mints stopped printing these bills because a German company Zimbabwe got their paper from terminated their business w/them.

Well, that wasn't an answer to my question. Where is the exchange rates updated daily?

There was a website once.

Wikipedia says the following: 2 February 2009   300 000 000 000 000 ZWD - 1 USD.

That's 300 trillion to one in 2009.

And inflation was a couple of hundred thousand percent in 2011. So they are practically worthless.

This currency was replaced in 2009 by ZAR, there is no a change at date because technically no longer exists
