100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollars

Okay now this is the time to give little shock to readers. If i say there is a note which cost a trillion, will you believe?




I don't think you will believe but its true. It is actually the maximum number of 14 zeros you will ever see on a currency note – 100,000,000,000,000, much beyond a million or billion. 

How is this possible? The Zimbabwe Dollar story is interesting to read and these 100-trillion-dollar notes were actually in circulation in Zimbabwe for few months when it was the least valued currency and could buy little. The Zimbabwe dollar was then officially abandoned in 2009 as the country legalised other foreign currencies for use (it got dollarized!). There are still many 100 trillion, 50 trillion and other trillion notes which can be bought off Ebay or other rare currency collectors.

Thats it. :)
