Zimbabwe Note Collection is an Ideal Way to Show Hyperinflation in Action

We've all heard about the extraordinary way the German Mark's value collapsed in the period 1918 - 1924. Between the beginning of 1922 and the end of 1923, the cost of any given item increased by a factor of ten billion: that is, an item costing 1 Mark in early 1922 sold for 10,000,000,000 Marks by the end of 1923. The same thing happened in Zimbabwe during the years 2007 - 2008, and you can see it clearly in this nice set of Zimbabwe bills from that period. The set includes all the bills printed during that era, up to the largest one, which had so many zeros in it, the bill had to be made bigger and the print made smaller, just to get the number one hundred trillion printed on it. Nicely bound and displayed in clear display pages that show both sides of the bills, this is a great way to show the decline of the Zimbabwe dollar during those two years. BankNoteWorld. has done an excellent job of helping to preserve these uncirculated bills. You would pay a lot more buying the bills separately.Read full review
