Today's selection is the 2009 issue of 100 Trillion Zimbabwe Dollars printed by Giesecke & Devrient (G&D). These are too new to be listed in references and too volatile to be listed accurately on the FOREX.

These were issued at a value of $300 each. At the time of this post they are down around $10 each due to the rampant hyper-inflation. Surprisingly these are very nice looking and well printed notes, the AGRO notes issued in 2008 were probably the worst.

This is a picture I posted a year or so ago, I ran across it again and thought I would post it. The caption says it all.

The Balancing Rocks are a geological formation found in the township of Epworth, southeast of Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. It is a formation of rocks perfectly balanced without other supports.
