(RCSD) Zimbabwe Dollar after death
Somewhere in currency land I seem to recall that the 100 Billion Z$
was the largest note ever officially placed in circulation showing the full set of zeroes. Is this still true? I see Blair's 100 Trillion as well as 10, 20 and 50 Trillion notes for sale on ebay. I assume these were printed but were never placed into circulation, Ralphael, the OLD one |

Yes the trillions were issued and are still valid (supposedly to the end of July 2009). They circulate alongside the new (4th) dollar notes. 100 trillion 3rd dollars = 100 4th dollars. HOWEVER, since US$ and SA Rands are legally acceptable in Zim now, the government is puzzled as to why nobody wants to price their goods in or accept Zim dollars in payment. Strange that! 8*) Blair |

I bid on the Zim notes. My bid was half the going rate and was accepted as the higest bid. Twenty minutes before the auction ender I get a notice from ebay that my bid was "Cancelled - Results Null and Void." "The listing was removed because it was in violation of ebay policy." say whut? me thinks my bid was too low and the seller did not want to sell at my price. He must have had some kind of kicker whereby he could cancel the offering should there be extremely low bids. RtOo |
