<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 413411, member: 4626&quot;]That slide show is obsolete... the note is denominated in the old dollars, of which now there&#039;s about 100 billion to the US dollar... meaning that note is worth aproximately 1/100 of a US cent!</p><p><br /></p><p>They recently redominated their dollar so that 1 of the new dollars equals 10 billion of the old ones.&nbsp; That mighr make accounting easier but they&#039;ve done nothing to curb the root causes of their hyperinflation so expect them to start putting on the zeroes again eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m suprised they didn&#039;t include the Hungarian pengo, just before they switched to the forint, the currency was historically the lowest value of any currency ever recorded.&nbsp; They had actually released a note worth 100 quintillion pengo (that&#039;s 1 followed by 20 zeros), the highest nominal denomination of any banknote ever released (they had printed, but never released, a note denominate 10 times higher than that!)&nbsp; At the time the pengo was abandoned, the entire paper money supply of pengos was worth aproximately 1/1000 of a US cent!&nbsp; The notes were literally not worth the paper they were printed on at that point...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
