[QUOTE="RabidRick, post: 1979954, member: 37868"]Interesting post! Thanks ^^ It sounds similar to what Zimbabwe did. They kept reissuing new currency at dollars "valued" exponentionlly over the previous ones issued, where the "new" dollars were worth 10^X * the old dollars. So, if you tke that into account it's pretty similar. (btw, this is from memory so someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty certain on this) So to get this straight, they called it a B-pengo (eq. to one billion pengo) and printed them at denominations of 100,000? Wow at what point do you give up? Then again, Zimbabwe didn't even bother to rename it, they just issued new fiat money and said it was worth some exponential factor over the old crap. It's a really sad situation when these kinds of things happen. Yeah, I've seen some VERY LARGE serial numbers. I mean, I know they printed a lot of these but not enough to reconcile that. I'll pull some out of the bank next time I go there and post them. I don't know why I have them there anyway. They aren't worth very much.[/QUOTE]
