Evidently, the One Hundred Trillion Dollar note you see below is/was real. 

At least in the sense that some moron at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe viewed it as currency.

Jeff Harding in a very well done piece, claims it was purchased for $7.50 on Ebay.

Click on the One Hundred Trillion Dollar note for the story.

Way double highly recommended.

Easy reading, lots of pictures, just for you Terry D. II

Money: A Semi Pictorial Fable

By Jeff Harding, on October 17th, 2009 

I don't know about you, but I find it troubling that the morons running our federal government are beginning to compare so favorably with your basic Zimbabwean government morons.

As an aside, I was unable to open either the official government web site, or the Zimbabwe tourism authority site.

I couldn't decide if that was a good thing, or a bad thing.
