I wonder if Zimbabwe economy would have been better off if they actually printed less of these notes.

I have been touch with a friend of mine from Zim who lives in SA. She says her folks had to close their cloth shop and the gov only allows withdrawal of 5 -10 billion a day.....I am wondering so how will someone get 100 trillion out...!!!

Anyway fun for us collectors...

Although the Euro,the Pound Sterling,the Pula,the Rand,& the U.S. Dollar are now legal tender in Zimbabwe,the Zimbabwean economy is still in a mess right now.

The only things that are being issued by both the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe & private companies is petrol coupons,which are denominated in Litres.

I wouldn't mind getting some of those,in addition to more Zimbabwean notes,especially of the 2009 issue,which lasted less than a month in circulation.
