The complete issue of Zimbabwe banknotes since changing from Rhodesia to the present. This series includes the highest banknote denominations ever issued. This shows you what inflation can do to an economy. If you have any questions contact me at robert@robertsworldmoney.com.
This information is to the best of my knowledge at the time of update. I will try to update when more information comes available to me, if you need any help or information I will be happy to help. I have “a lot” of these notes in stock – however, many are getting rare and hard to find. Especially p54 and p89 – Also, most of the Cargill and Traveler’s cheques are rare now.

Zimbabwe now uses the South African Rand. (Also, I believe the US$)
See my post on the new South African Rand banknotes featuring Nelson Mandela.
See many of these notes on my eBay store.
Also see many of these notes on my website, robertsworldmoney.com. More being added every day.
Hehe I was able to my hand on some of those $5 billion agro cheques when I was in Zimbabwe in 2008.
I believe $1USD got me 3x$5 billion!
Inflation is a sure sign of economic diarrhea and political myopia….the situation prevails to date in Zimbabwe.The only solution is the new political dispensation being ushered in by Transform Zimbabwe
Can you tell me what the “P”or “M” means on any of the notes?
Myra
Sorry, not quiet sure what the question is. If you are asking about the “p” in front of the number of the note (such as p91) then that means “pick” which denotes it’s catalog number (each banknote has a separate pick number – Pick is name after Albert Pick who invented the banknote catalog system – there is a blog about that (Banknote Collecting 101 Part 4: How to pick the pick)
On some notes – none of the Zimbabwe notes though, do also have a letter designation of “M” which means it is a Military issue note, so you may see notes from, say, Burma that are pM27 – meaning it is pick 27 in the Military section.
I hope this answers the question, but if not please email me at robert@robertsworldmoney.com and I will do my best to answer you if this is not right – Robert
Very useful! Thanks!
Are these worth collecting for investments? I was looking to get $100 Trillion, $50,000 and $10,000 as I saw that these were the rarer ones to get?
Also saw on eBay that somebody is selling $100 Trillion, $50 Trillion, $20 Trillion & $10 Trillion – are these worth it?
Thanks!
