100 billion dollar bill


This is a real banknote from Zimbabwe, although it is not standard currency. It won't be be around for long: tomorrow, August 1 2008, the government will exchange old for new money at a rate of 10 billion to 1, so this will be a $10 bill. According to Wikipedia, today $100 billion can only buy 3 eggs. I find this interesting, since these banknotes are selling for hundreds of dollars on eBay right now!
