To deal with hyperinflation that reached the ludicrous level of 231 million % and saw the price for a loaf of bread hit 300 billion Zimbabwean dollars, Zimbabwe issued a $100 trillion note in early January. (One hundred trillion, by the way, is a 1 with 14 zeroes — making the note the highest denomination in the world.)
As far as can be determined
his is the largest number ever
on a banknote in the history of
the world. Maybe president
Obama can borrow one of these
to pay the national debt, pay for
health care and hae money left
over.

$100,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwe dollars would be about $500 in US dollars
