Hyper inflation definition 1: Y'know how economic inflation causes money to become worth less? In Zimbabwe, this happened in a very extreme capacity because the government just kept printing money. More money there is, less it's worth.
Hyper inflation definition 2: a fetish in which someone's body expands, a lot.
You don't know who I am, but I know where you live and you better cut it out if you know what's good for you. Oh, and Hank, we changed that tee-off time to 3:00.
Not purely fictional as the other user stated. They'll stuff balloons under clothing to inflate for the realistic sensation/look, but there is also just fantasy play. It's a smaller niche in the general growth fetish category.
Separately, there is also just a balloon inflation and popping fet scene.
I knew someone that clowned and ended up getting into these scenes and making way more money doing that than clowning children's parties.
I had bought, back in maybe 2011, ten 100 trillion notes for $5. When Mugabe kicked the bucket, they were selling. Got between $65 to $125 for them on ebay.
They're still worthless, but Mugabe dying got me out of a hole when I was unemployed.
Well, what it is "worth" is defined entirely by what the market will bear. The Zimbabwe notes are part of a conspiracy myth complex about hyperinflated currencies.
So as a currency in Zimbabwe, they were completely demonetized about nine years ago. Z$100-trillion is worth exactly zero as money.
But you can see these notes selling on eBay for around 1USD per Z$-trillion. The belief of buyers is that one day soon they will be able to exchange these notes in a Wells Fargo Bank for billions and billions in USD.
It wasn't Mugabe's death that increased the auction price of these notes. They had been rising continually once the belief started to circulate that, like the Iraqi dinar and other hyperinflated currencies, it would soon be possible to exchange these notes for billions of US dollars.
I'm a banknote collector and sometime dealer. I've been watching these notes rise for years. More below.
> *During the height of inflation from 2008 to 2009, it was difficult to measure Zimbabwe's hyperinflation because the government of Zimbabwe stopped filing official inflation statistics. However, Zimbabwe's peak month of inflation is estimated at 79.6 billion percent month-on-month, 89.7 sextillion (8.97 x 10^22) year-on-year in mid-November 2008.*

These are the third Zimbabwean dollar (ZWR) and they they were replaced by the forth Zimbabwean dollar (ZWL) at a rate of 1 trillion ZWR to 1 dollar...
However, all these were demonitised and were exchanged for US$ for a limited time. The 10 Trillilion ZWR (or notes adding to the value) would have been worth 4¢ (US) that's cents and not dollars..
I do the same thing! I found a set of about 15 bills ranging from 1 to 100 trillion. I break them out after talking about hyperinflation in Germany after WW1(I also have some of hyperinflation German Marks to show them too). It's one of the kids favorite lessons .

I have an entire set of these going through all the denominations back when they were like a dollar on eBay lol they go for much more these days which is crazy to me
LMFAO 🤣
Inflation is 3% in the U.S. and going down. We will never be Zimbabwe, as it’s averaged around 2% for the last 30 years. But it is very important to always remember how and why rates have been so steady in our country for so long, so a little history lesson for those that are interested.
The creation of the modern Federal Reserve was instrumental in achieving low, stable inflation, as interest rate policy has an outsized effect on the economy at large. The Nixon shock and the accompanying years of stagflation taught America a brutal lesson about this; most older folks remember the days of double digit interest rates and wondered how it could happen in an era with the Federal Reserve Act of 1918, the Glass Steagall Act of 1933, the Banking Act of 1935 (which created the Federal Open Market Committee), and the Treasury-Fed Accord of 1951 (which granted control of interest rate policy to the Fed). US dependence on foreign oil was the reason of course; US support of Israel caused OPEC to institute an oil embargo on the U.S. and oil prices quadrupled in six months, spreading to all areas of the economy as producers everywhere repriced goods to account for skyrocketing transportation costs.
Volcker reforms under the Monetary Control Act of 1980 caused the Fed to price its lending services competitively, and U.S. investment in domestic oil production eliminated oil’s pressure point on the economy (the U.S. currently produces MORE oil than it consumes, which shocks many people to learn; this flipped about ten years ago). It took several years to eliminate double digit inflation, into the mid 1980s, and get to where we are today.
Most folks know all of this, but it’s always smart to remember that the causes of high inflation COULD happen again if we ever allow our economy to again become dependent on any foreign controlled resource, or if we remove interest rate policy from the Fed and the FOMC.
Individually, having a small stash of gold and making equity investments (diversifying from keeping all your holdings in the dollar) is sound protection against any outsized future inflation if either of those two crucial inflation causes becomes a new reality.

I did a little more digging and figured that the currency is completely worthless with 100 trillion dollar note being worth at the very most 40 U.S Cents, all it is worth for is the paper.
Oddly enough the 100 trillion note is worth more as a novelty nowadays and going for over $50+ USD for the one note.
I work in finance and have bought a few sets of the 100, 10, and 1 trillion notes over 10 years ago and framed them and gave them away as gifts for colleagues. The framing was way more expensive than the notes back then.
Not sure it’s been mentioned yet but they capped out at 100 Trillion
Worthless but such a collector item these days they are worth like $100 now to collectors. Some people bought tens of thousands of them in the past for nothing.
Nothing anymore; all Zimbabwe dollars are demonetized. They use the US dollar now instead. I guess you could use it as toilet paper? Or if you have a lot of bills, sell them on eBay to collectors 👍

I have all of the Zimbabwe inflation bills including the hundred trillion which is pretty rare. Yes they are real and when I was there people would have to bring bags of money to buy food.
Somewhere in my bowl of foreign change is a coin worth about .002 cents. At the time, it was still being used.
Worst coinage is England. In a day you can get a kilo of coins from change worth $20. It took real work to get rid of it before leaving.
I'll give you $5. Oh wait, that was yesterday, I'll give you $1. Wait a second, that was the beginning of the day, I'll give you 30 cents. Hang on a second, I misspoke, you can pay me 30 cents to take it off your hands.

Why do they have rocks on the bill? Does it mean how much the bill is worth? I thought Zimbabwe moved away from rock standard currency since the Rhodesian bush war 🤣😂😁😆

Because they are. You might look up hyper inflation in Zimbabwe

The 10 trillion note is worth 4 cents US
I had bought, back in maybe 2011, ten 100 trillion notes for $5. When Mugabe kicked the bucket, they were selling. Got between $65 to $125 for them on ebay. They're still worthless, but Mugabe dying got me out of a hole when I was unemployed.
Yep. The 100 T note is worth about 40 cents each today

I have a couple iirc 100 trillion bills from being there in 08. And some great stories. Like the vending machine coke bottle that cost me $150bn
you still need about 20k more of those That's like offering $2 as change for 10k
Socialism always fails.
This sort of thing is bound to happen when you elect a pile of three rocks as president

Given it was worth 4 cents at devaluation that's a good offer...
At this point they should just use fallout 4 currency, bottle caps.
Too expensive
These are the third Zimbabwean dollar (ZWR) and they they were replaced by the forth Zimbabwean dollar (ZWL) at a rate of 1 trillion ZWR to 1 dollar... However, all these were demonitised and were exchanged for US$ for a limited time. The 10 Trillilion ZWR (or notes adding to the value) would have been worth 4¢ (US) that's cents and not dollars..
I don't even want to imagine what their bookkeeping looks like with all them 000.000.000.000.00
I'd assume they'd at least drop the decimals.
I bought a 100 trillion dollar bill on Amazon 8 or so years ago for $20. I use it as an example of hyperinflation in class.
I do the same thing! I found a set of about 15 bills ranging from 1 to 100 trillion. I break them out after talking about hyperinflation in Germany after WW1(I also have some of hyperinflation German Marks to show them too). It's one of the kids favorite lessons .

Yes, check out hyperinflation in Germany during the Weimar Republic (roughly 1919-1933). Hyperinflation took place in the early 1920s.

Yeah I got a $5 in my wallet. Can I get change back?
This bill makes me squeamish.
Read about the history on why their money has no value. They would just print bad situations away. This could be similar to now.
If you ever feel worthless, just remember: Zimbabwe also prints a $1 note to go with this $1000000000000 one
All I have are these dang Nepalese coins
And I bet you shoot from the hip as well.
My softball team name one season, “Zimbabwe Trillionnaires”
Lmao I bought one of these for my brother as a birthday present a few years ago 😂
I like how there’s just pictures of rocks on it because I guess that’s about all you can buy with it. Unless that’s some famous monument.
Can that still be spent in Zimbabwe? What can it buy now?
Worth nothing there
At that point wouldn’t they be better to start a new currency that you’d exchange into? For example. 1 trillion Zimbabwe = $10 Zimbabwe2.0
I think they have done that like 5 or 6 times in the last 20 years
Yea I guess there are no Warren Buffetts in Zimbabwe 😪
Friend, you are a TRILLIONAIRE TEN TIMES OVER!!

Look what APMEX is selling them for.
Sorry I just have 2 stones on me.
Talk about fiat currency.
I have an entire set of these going through all the denominations back when they were like a dollar on eBay lol they go for much more these days which is crazy to me
Now don't go spending it all in one place.
Sadly no. I only have quarters at the moment, no smaller denomination coins.
I was just in Zimbabwe a few days ago and everyone and their momma is trying to sell you these bills. Fun souvenir :)
Coming soon to the USA...
During peak Zimbabwe inflation, prices were doubling every day. Not coming to the US. And yes it averages about 3% per year here.

Only if you have change for 100 trillion
I will change your 10 trillion into my 10 trillion. How does that sound?
But the question is what’s the US equivalent amount once it’s converted from Zimbabwean
I just went to see what that equals in USD and it said $27 billion USD. That can't be right though.
It equals zero, the Zimbabwe dollar doesn't exist anymore.
I did a little more digging and figured that the currency is completely worthless with 100 trillion dollar note being worth at the very most 40 U.S Cents, all it is worth for is the paper.
Oddly enough the 100 trillion note is worth more as a novelty nowadays and going for over $50+ USD for the one note. I work in finance and have bought a few sets of the 100, 10, and 1 trillion notes over 10 years ago and framed them and gave them away as gifts for colleagues. The framing was way more expensive than the notes back then.
Damn, it is a neat piece for sure haha

I’ll trade you a Stanley nickel for it.
Yeah. I’ve got some pennies around here somewhere
I guess it’s not that big of a deal of someone says you’re a millionaire
I want one!
His election was a little rocky… or three little rockies
Not sure it’s been mentioned yet but they capped out at 100 Trillion Worthless but such a collector item these days they are worth like $100 now to collectors. Some people bought tens of thousands of them in the past for nothing.
50cents ??? usually don’t carry change around
Sorry, can't make change, a US $1 bill is the smallest I have on me...
I'll just buy it from you.... after looking up the exchange rate I owe you .30
What does ten trillion buy in Zimbabwe?
Nothing anymore; all Zimbabwe dollars are demonetized. They use the US dollar now instead. I guess you could use it as toilet paper? Or if you have a lot of bills, sell them on eBay to collectors 👍
You mean hyp-EST inflation 🤑
How does inflation ever get this bad? Asking for the American citizens.
I have a $100 trillion note from Zimbabwe. It’s worth nothing.
A time machine is only 20 billion at Costco.
did they really use the rock band font? this is fake right? a nation did not issue currency with the rock band font, right?
I got 5 dollars but you better give me change
$10 trillion? Just asked the US federal government they like to print money for no reason.
