Brett Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Also I can't believe the prices that these things are getting on ebay. There is currently a 50 billion bearer check at $108 with 6 days left. For a check that isn't worth the paper it is printed on. I won't bother collecting them because they are not banknotes.

I have got some but only gone for the ones that are cheap, there's several $100Billion Agro Cheques on there going for £40 but are only valued at 50p in real terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering the crisis over there are been used by everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yes, except for those who are lucky enough to have other means of payment ... such as the SA rand or the US dollar. As for shooting Mugabe - not that I support or defend his regime, but maybe Mbeki can actually achieve something now. Besides, I have not heard that many calls for similar action in Sudan, even though the regime there has killed almost half a million people during the past few years. By the way, I don't have any of those checks from Zimbabwe, but I have read that the values visible through the watermarks are much lower than the actual face values. The 25 billion note, for example, has a $500 watermark ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutmegcollector Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Zimbabwe Update July 25, 2008 A serious cash shortage has hit Zimbabwe as the country’s economic crisis worsens each day amid reports that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe RBZ has completely run out of paper to print new bank notes. Sources say the central bank is already mooting the introduction of a 500 billion dollar special agro cheque but the shortage of paper remains an insurmountable challenge. The central bank has set $100 billion as the maximum cash withdrawal limit per day. This is enough only to buy a box of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Maybe not. The time of the many zeros in Zimbabwe will soon be over - for a while. As from 1 August, the country will have a "New Dollar". Ten billion old dollars will then be one New Zimbabwe Dollar. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutmegcollector Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 On August 1, 2008 Zimbabwe issued a new series of banknotes, dropping 10 zeros. Actually Zimbabwe just issued a new $5 trillion dollar note disguised as $500. If you consider the 3 zeros dropped on August 2006, this $500 is really equal to $5 quadrillion (15 zeros) pre-2006 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that these are the "new notes" printed a couple of years back that were supposed to have been released back then.

What's the betting we'll soon see the $1000, $5000, $10000, etc. notes Sounds right. There hasn't been a Zimbabwe note with good security features for quite a few years now... (2001 dated $500 and $1000) I remember when I got my first 2001 $500 in '05 it could buy half a box of matches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithuania Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Zimbabwe has announced that they are redenominating their currency on 1 August 2008. $10,000,000,000 in the old currency will equal $1 in the new!!

tabbs Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Zimbabwe has announced that they are redenominating their currency on 1 August 2008. See post #33. Thanks for the link to the MPS - while I don't plan to become an agricultural check multibillionaire, I may try and get some of the (partly old, partly new?) coins. They will probably have to be replaced by high denomination paper again ... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I am going to get a set of the new banknotes, because they are banknotes and not bearer checks. I may try and pick up some of the new coins if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgk920 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Holy CR**! - it's more than doubled in just two days since Wednesday, 2008-08-20.

I wonder if the notes that haven't entered circulation yet will have "0" added to the end: $1 => $10 $5 => $50 $10 => $100 $20 => $200 $50 => $500 $100 => $1000 $200 => $2000 $500 => $5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
