Hi Goldmatters. The 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollar note was worth $300 when first issued and was worth $0.40 a few years ago. Most people use US dollars there now anyway. Shows you if you were a Zimbabwean you were better off investing in gold. If you had in 2009 bought gold with your 100 trillion bank note you would have gained 30 percent against its current rate but if you held Zimbabwe's currency instead lost in the region of $386. Quite scary.
