View attachment 1342314 I just recently acquired these uncirculated African banknotes, just thought I would share! I always find other countries banknotes to be interesting with all different designs and colors. Thanks for checking it out!
How about a One Hundred Trillion Dollar note from Zimbabwe? Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe One Hundred Trillion Dollar Note, 2008 Issue Balancing Rocks are geological formations all over Zimbabwe. The rocks are perfectly balanced without other supports. They are created when ancient granite intrusions are exposed to weathering, as softer rocks surrounding them erode away. They are often remarked on and have been depicted on both the paper money of the Zimbabwean dollar and the paper money of the Rhodesian dollar. The ones found on the current notes of Zimbabwe, named the Banknote Rocks, are located in Epworth, approximately 9 miles (15 km) south east of Harare. There are, however, many different formations of the rocks, incorporating single and paired columns of 3 or more rocks. These formations are a feature of south and east tropical Africa from northern South Africa northwards to Sudan. The most notable formations in Zimbabwe are located in the Matobo National Park in Matabeleland.
Kwacha always sounded funny to me. I used to be big on collecting world money. In college, my friend group had an inside joke on Kwacha - "I'll give you one kwacha if you... (insert stupid thing here)"
Kwacha = dawn. As in the dawn of a new anti-colonial age for Malawi where the "kwacha" replaced the colonial - sponsored "pound" as a unit of currency. What's amusing to me is that the Malawi kwacha is equal to 100 tambala which means rooster. So 1 dawn equals 100 roosters!
