even higher denomination bearer checks: 1 Million Dollars, 5 Million
Dollars and 10 Million Dollars.

There are a number of the notes for sale on eBay. However, I'd caution
against buying any of these immediately. With inflation at astronomical
rates, "high-value" Zim notes drop in price every day.

Owen;

That is good advice, but with the current exchange rate of Z$25,000,000 :
US$1, I wouldn't worry too much about a note worth a buck or two losing much
value

Yes, but you don't pay face value for UNC notes. The current 10-million
dollar note sells on eBay for $10 to $20. Let 165,000% inflation run its
course and these notes will be available by the bricks for almost nothing
before too long.

True, but who would pay 5x face for new uncirculated notes too? That is way
too much of a markup. The way Mugabe is plowing the economy in Zimbabwe,
50M notes are going to be chump change.

Cheap notes usually carry a much higher percentage mark up than high-value
notes. I don't think anyone is going to get rich selling Zim dollars to
collectors.

Perhaps not in the US, but in Z ... maybe! Someone who can accumulate
a few actual US$ (or other hard currencies) will have something of an
advantage over his countrimen who have to rely on Mugabe's toilet
tissue "currency" issues for their money.

Their economy would be better off if local merchants and businesses
could issue their own (kind of like the various local currencies you
find in Germany or the US) -- but Mugabe is such a nutter, it's
probably illegal too and they'd wind up dead or worse for the effort.
