Owner's Description:
Reuters reported the announcement of the $1 Billion, $5 Billion, and $10 Billion dollar banknotes on 19 Dec 2008 - a literal week after the last batch of notes was announced. The Zimbabwe regular banknotes feature an image of the Chiremba balancing rock formation - three balancing rocks that are in Matobo National Park. The image of the stones was chosen as a metaphor for balancing development and environmental protection following the country’s transition from white-ruled Rhodesia to the maj...

The Zimbabwe regular banknotes feature an image of the Chiremba balancing rock formation - three balancing rocks that are in Matobo National Park. The image of the stones was chosen as a metaphor for balancing development and environmental protection following the country’s transition from white-ruled Rhodesia to the majority black ruled Zimbabwe. The Matobo Hills are composed entirely of granite and it makes for some really unique and interesting formations. The back side of the Trillions Se...

Owner's Description:
It is interesting to note that the highest "Billion" denomination is 50 Billon dollars, and the lowest "Trillion" denomination is 10 Trillion Dollars. There is no 100 Billion. There is no 200 Billion. There is no 500 Billion. There is no 1 or 5 Trillion banknote. By this point in time the inflation situation had gotten so far out of control that they had to skip all of that and go right for denominations of 10 to 100 Trillion dollars. As a result, from ZIM87 to ZIM88 the face value of the note j...

A report by the BBC dates the announcement of this note to the 16th of January 2009. That’s just 6 days after a news story ran with CNN, reporting the announcment of the $20 Billion and $50 Billion notes. I think to fully understand this note you need to understand the fact that these are 3rd dollars and that these were made after two re-denominations. In the first 3 zeros were taken off the denominations / currency and in the second 10 were. So, in first dollars, this note is $1,000,000,000,...
Owner's Description:
The third redenomination was announced on February 2nd, 2009, exactly 2 years to the day after the 2nd redenomination was announced. The third dollar notes were demonetized at the end of June 2009, less than 1 year after they were released. The 4th dollar (ZWL) was mostly a non-event, however as, by Jan 2009, the Zimbabwe economy was almost completely dollarized - in this case dollarized meaning the US dollar, which almost everyone was using instead of the Zimbabwe dollar. Some people were a...
