At the beginning of this week, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe introduced 20- and 50-billion-dollar notes, and today, just four days later, it has unveiled even larger, record-breaking denominations: 10-, 20-, 50-, and 100-trillion-dollar notes. The 10-trillion-dollar note is going into circulation immediately (16 January 2009), with the others to be introduced gradually.<\/p>\n

“The $10 trillion note has the image of the RBZ building and the Conical Tower at the Great Zimbabwe National Monuments,” says the state-run Herald newspaper. “The $100 trillion note has the image of a buffalo and the Victoria Falls, the $50 trillion the Kariba Dam spilling and an elephant, while a mineworker drilling in an underground shaft and the GMB grain silos appear on the new $20 trillion note.”<\/p>\n

The new notes have the same security features as the existing ones: a color-shift stripe printed RBZ, a color-shift Zimbabwe Bird, and the denominations as registration devices.<\/p>\n

The 100-trillion-dollar note (that\u2019s 100,000,000,000,000) could buy 20 loaves of bread at current rates, but the Washington think-tank Cato Institute has estimated inflation is running at 89.7 sextillion percent\u2014a figure expressed with 21 zeroes\u2014so vendors adjust prices almost constantly.<\/p>\n
