Description

The listing, Become a Trillionaire - $100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollar has ended.

Zimbabwe had a period of hyperinflation in which their government printed too much money. This bill was originally worth $300 USD, but most of the money they printed dropped in actual value very quickly after it was released. For instance, Zimbabwe's $100 billion banknote bought exactly 3 eggs on the day of its release. Zimbabwe's currency is no longer in use as of April 2009, but this is a definite collector's item. Besides, who wouldn't want to be an instant Trillionaire?

Pretty neat item. Shows what rampant hyperinflation looks like.

I've got a full collection, but these are the only ones for which I have extras.

It's not hilarious at all. This is what is going to happen to us if Washington keeps up their shenanigans.

Sorry about getting political on your auction lol but it had to be said
