100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollar banknote, issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in 2008. This banknote is notable as one of the world's highest denominations of currency ever printed. Issuance: The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued the 100 Trillion Dollar banknote in 2008 during a period of severe hyperinflation in the country. Hyperinflation: Zimbabwe experienced extreme hyperinflation, particularly from 2008 to 2009, leading to the printing of increasingly larger denominations to keep pace with soaring prices. Symbolism: This banknote has become a symbol of extreme economic instability and the peak of Zimbabwe's hyperinflation crisis. Current Status: The Zimbabwean dollar, including the 100 Trillion note, was demonetized in 2009 due to currency collapse and replaced with foreign currencies for a period. In 2019, a new Zimbabwe dollar (RTGS Dollar) was reintroduced, and later, in April 2024, replaced by the Zimbabwean gold (ZiG). Collectibility: Although no longer legal tender, these notes are popular among collectors and are considered collectible/novelty items. Their value as a collectible can vary based on condition and authentication.
