<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RabidRick, post: 1979652, member: 37868&quot;]These seeed to have gone up in prce. They used to be ~ $5 a piece and now I see them ll over the place.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have 10 or 11 in UNC -- I bought these as a novelty since it&#039;s the hisghest denomination ever printed. Also some &quot;lower&quot; denominations (if you&#039;d call 10/50 trillin a a &quot;lower&quot; denominaltion. It&#039;s a reminder how exponentially hard inflation can hit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at various serial numbers I had a sense Mugabe was prineting more after the currency turned to crap and they started using South African and USD currency. AFter all, they have the resources and even $5 is bank compared to what is essentially worhless.This one looks appealing, though... Just because of the serial number.:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zimbabwe-100-Trillion-EXTREMELY-Inflation/dp/B00DMIHGH2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Zimbabwe-100-Trillion-EXTREMELY-Inflation/dp/B00DMIHGH2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Zimbabwe-100-Trillion-EXTREMELY-Inflation/dp/B00DMIHGH2</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The original exchange rate was 300USD at the time they were minted (whih sharply declined), but they have no monetary value now. They also kept making new type after type trying to multiply the value of the previously debased currency. That could possibly be a sign ou are on the wrong track. It was a shame, the gvernmernt reissued several new bank notes that were expoential to the previous types trying to restorre the currency currency. That could possibly be a sign you are on the wrong track. It&#039;s a shame; wheelelbarrows worth of the stuff d to go to stores which hardly stocked anything aside from the bare essentials (I believe the regional food is sort of like a pasta bsae similar to couscous.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people think this is unethical to buy these but I think they have historical value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was about to get more but I was hesitant, especially since some dealers in CA bought tons of these in huge bundles straight from Zimbabwe (many of which I think were in UNC straight from the mint. Also, if the serial numbers go in order it confuzes me when I compare to tthe estimated count printed. It was hard to tell if there was an overlod of suply but I wonder if it will be a collector&#039;s item (at least in UNC) at some point in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>This isn&#039;t mine, they are at the bank (I have no idea why) but for your reference:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Seems like you can still get some UNC&#039;s at reasonable prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
