Zimbabwe notes through the roof?

According to the Wall Street journal the 100 trillion note was never put into circulation. All of them were supposed to be destroyed. They were never destroyed just hoarded by high level government officials who sold them off.
The WSJ article also alerted the general public to the notes which dramatically
caused the price of the notes to increase.
I used to buy them for $7.00 each at the Baltimore Whitman show.

A dealer I know sold over 2,000 from his Ebay store on the day the WSJ story hit.

 

I have a 100 trillion note that I paid 5 dollars for back in 2012. I’ve also been watching the price go up and wishing I would have bought a whole bundle of them.

 

Wow, I had no idea how much these are going for until I googled it after reading this thread. I bought 6 for $5/ea around the same time period. Sold 5 at the local coin club mtg for $7/ea. At the time, I was happy that I ended up getting mine for free and made $5 on top of it. Oh well, at least I made an honest profit and still have 1.

 

With such a large price increase, should we be worried about counterfeits? Especially considering that the notes don’t have much in the way of security features. It would be a lot easier and less risky for someone to counterfeit demonetized notes and sell on eBay versus risking federal prison for printing fake US currency.

That's the web page of the company on EBay which I have bought from and I am very happy with them. Their EBay name is rigiddesign and they sell currency from all over the world. Their Ebay price is $17 lower than the price on that link.
