I would like to get one. It would be cool as a coffee table conversation piece. This has also got to set the record for the highest denomination note.

A radical (and smart) idea would be to buy all their money back in exchange for dollars or euros and use that for their offical currency (Panama still uses dollars.)
Of course, if you can’t print as much money as you want you can’t pay your thugs five times the national average salary.

Comin' up next, the Avogadro Note: 6.022 * 10^23 Zimbabwe dollars = 1 US dime. I like it. One mole = 0.10 bucks.

(Zimbabwe’s troubled central bank introduced new $100 billion banknotes Saturday in a desperate bid to ease the recurrent cash shortages plaguing the inflation-ravaged economy)
Coming soon to your Nation with its 9 TRILLION dollar Debt,under funded socialist programs, over taxed citizen workers, and if Obama becomes President more socialist programs, higher taxes, higher oil/gas costs and those new Federal Reserve notes in denominations of 1,000 and 10,000 and 100,000 so the citizens can pay their gas bills and food bills without carrying suitcases around......

When the government of Zimbabwe finally collapses into oblivion, the entire set from one million and up will available on Home Shopping Network in an attractive oak presentation case for three easy payments of $19.95.

Today’s $100 billion note or tomorrow’s cheap toilet paper? Is there really a difference anymore?

Hurry down to your local dentist: while this exchange rate lasts, molar removal for only 2000 moles! [How many moles dermatologists be charging for black mole removal next week is anybody’s guess.]

Like the Weimar Republic in the '20s, they'll soon be printing the bills on one side to save time. Perhaps we should send Bernanke
THIS as a primer. Scroll down to the various countries and see what may be in store for us.

Wouldn’t it be a thrill to light your cigar with a 100 billion dollar bill? Or maybe not.

Sorry that I have little sympathy for those who elected this socialist in the first place. They are just like those who voted for Hamas. You know, the type out to please Jimmy Carter.

Socialism works!Everyone in Zimbabwe is a Billionaire!
When I was little, I heard a song that completely turned me off of socialistic intentions... It was "I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After. The line, which as a 6 year old, really bothered me, was "tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more." Within my little 6 year old mind, I was thinking "being rich is a good thing, and the more rich people there are the better. Why wouldn't everyone want to be rich. But why do these people want to get rid of the rich, rather than getting rid of the poor, by making the poor rich?"
A simple question, which no leftist has ever been able to answer for me.

With inflation like that, money and savings have no value. And to make sure that people don't try to "save for the future" by keeping those bank notes, the last ones I saw had expiration dates on them.

Anyone know how to get a few of these bills? I have GOT to buy a few dozen... Just to carry a few in my wallet.
Imagine the looks on your friends faces: “why yes, I am a multi-billionaire! Would you like to see some proof?” and out comes the $100 billion dollar bill!

This monster leader needs to be taken out. But then again let the world see how these type of leaders they’ve supported turn out. They turn into MONSTERS.
