Re: Mike, did you read that Zimbabwe...

Are you speaking of the one shown below? Otherwise I am not aware of anything later than the one shown at the bottom. BUT, with the rampant inflation rate it would not surprise me as the new issues have been coming so fast from Zimbabwe it's hard to keep up with. Some time ago I did a Banknote of the Day with the Zimbabwe note and showed a picture that was in an IBNS Magazine article showing a man paying for lunch with a BALE of currency that took both arms to carry. The inflation rate has dwarfed that of Yugoslavia during its hyper-inflation days when it had a 500 Billion dinar note (largest denomination note to date). Zimbabwe was having problems in accounting due to the limited number of digits that could be displayed on calculators and adding machines.

Issued in May 2008

In July of 2008 they issued a Special 100 Billion note to keep up with the 2.2 Million% Inflation....

Then later devalued the monry by dropping 6 zeros (I think) ... and re-issuing
