I quite like the idea of getting hold of some actual notes just to see what they look like. A trillion dollar bill must be a record

I'd probably frame them and hang in my office.

But how would I get hold of some? Doubt if PO do them over the counter

loved the article on the news last night where the news guy spent a trillion dollars, which was about 5 pounds in real money.

a tray of eggs was 600 billion dollars, there inflation is screwed.

Thought the new note was the billion dollar note ( couple weeks ago)

Ill get my gfriends mam to send you some in exchange for 10 us


Whats particularly galling is this message that people souldnt be sending money home ( whilst refusing assylum seekers the right to work) ,
How the **** are these people going to survive

I think it was deemed useless before it got in to production as inflation was rising that fast.

Apparently, Hungary still has the worst hyper-inflation in History, makes Zimbabwe seem controlled.

You think how on earth could it get that high?


Until you see this:

So what cost you £1 on Monday, would cost you £64 on Sunday

us billion is different to uk billion , right ?

PeteBrant

Not really, not anymore. In any terms a billion is 1000 million. The UK adopted this as a "billion" (as opposed to a million million) in 1974.

That Zimbabwean dollar loan was a good investment

Too much blood on that money for my liking!
