These were also offered for sale at a recent (Sept) Long Beach, California coin show. The dealer had multiple bundles of 100 notes offered wholesale to other dealers for $125 per bundle. The notes, unlike earlier Zimbabwe “dollars,” have no expiration date on them. They came out in the last half of ’08 with a local exchange value of approx. US$80, or so I have been told. The value went to zero within weeks. Now they are shipped over here for what they’ll bring as novelties. Consider them as historic reminders of the vast devastation and suffering caused by government-organized theft of wealth from its populace.

Zimbabweopoly money?

I think the reason the bill shows a pile of rocks is because it reflects the fact that their economy has hit “rock bottom”.
Perhaps Arnold should buy one and bail out California?
aren’t those the OLD notes ?
the ones for 2008
think this year they said 1 Trillion $ = 1 $
