No country currently has a $100 trillion dollar bill. Zimbabwe, which is an African country, once printed a $100 trillion Zimbabwean dollar banknote to help combat the country’s hyperinflation in 2009.
This was the largest denomination of banknote ever in circulation, but it has since been taken out of circulation and is no longer legal tender. As of 2021, the highest denomination of bill issued by any country is the 500,000 Zairean zaires, which was issued by the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1984 to 1997.

How much is Zimbabwe $100-trillion-dollar worth?
Unfortunately, Zimbabwe’s $100 trillion dollar note is now worth very little and is basically worthless. At the time of its issuance, the $100 trillion dollar note was the highest denomination banknote to ever be issued by any government in the world.
The note was only printed from 2008 to 2009, and was rendered worthless after hyperinflation meant that the value of Zimbabwe’s currency had plummeted. The hyperinflation crisis was caused by a number of economic factors, such as poor economic policy, a low standard of living and high unemployment rates.
In 2009, the Zimbabwean government replaced the country’s currency with the US Dollar and South African Rand, rendering the $100 trillion-dollar note worthless. Today, trying to purchase anything with a $100 trillion-dollar note is highly unlikely as the note is no longer accepted as legal tender by the government or by any businesses.
In fact, the value of the $100 trillion-dollar note has been estimated to be as low as US$0.20.
What is the Zimbabwe dollar worth today?
The Zimbabwe dollar is no longer the official currency of Zimbabwe, having been replaced by the United States dollar in 2009. This was done in order to stabilize the economy, which had become unpredictable because of hyperinflation caused by poor economic policy-making.
At its peak, the Zimbabwe dollar had an official exchange rate of 250 trillion per US dollar. However, this had become unsustainable and the currency was effectively abandoned.
If you own Zimbabwe dollars today, you can still purchase old banknotes with them. They are then evaluated based on their age and the current market rate. Generally speaking, the older and more collectible the notes are, the more they may be worth.
However, this exchange rate is far below its 2009 peak, currently trading at around USD 0.005 per Zimbabwe Dollar. It is also worth noting that these exchange rates are relatively volatile and can change depending on the quantity of currency available for exchange.
How many trillionaires are in the world?
Currently, there are no known trillionaires in the world. However, there are estimates of people with net worths in the hundreds of billions of dollars. According to Forbes, the world’s wealthiest person is currently Jeff Bezos with an estimated net worth of $130 billion as of February 2020.
Additionally, the magazine estimates that there are currently 2000 people in the world with a net worth of at least $1 billion. While there are no known trillionaires, some experts predict that there could be as many as 20 trillionaires by the year 2030, mostly from the technology industry.
How much is the US in debt?
As of August 6, 2020, the US national debt sits at about $26.7 trillion. This figure includes both public debt (owed to investors outside the government) and intergovernmental holdings (that the government owes to other government accounts).
The debt held by the public is about $19.9 trillion, for a debt to GDP ratio of about 113.4%. This means that the US owes about $136,000 for every citizen.
The US debt has grown significantly since the Great Recession of 2009-2010. It currently sits at more than double the amount it was in 2008, when the public debt was around $5.8 trillion. The US government has borrowed money to pay for multiple economic stimulus packages, tax cuts, and other government programs, driving the debt upwards.
Overall, the US is heavily in debt and the situation is expected to worsen in the years to come.
Is the Zim worth anything?
The Zim is not currently worth anything unless it is redeemed for goods at a store. The Zim is a local currency within Zimbabwe and up until 2009 had an exchange rate with the USD, however due to Zimbabwe’s financial crisis in 2009 it became almost worthless as a currency.
In the years following the crisis, the Zim experienced high inflation rates and the currency was unable to keep up with economic trends, leading to its worthlessness. Its value is now primarily based on its perceived rarity.
Some collectors are willing to purchase Zim currency on the secondary collector’s market, though due to its limited appeal the market for it is limited. People wishing to get their hands on some Zim to use as souvenirs or decorations can purchase it through a Zimbabwean bank.
But you won’t be able to use it for anything other than that.
What is 1 US dollar worth in Zimbabwe?
As of May 2020, 1 US Dollar is worth approximately 362.37 Zimbabwean Dollars. The exchange rate between the two currencies fluctuates and is dependent on many factors, including the relative strength of the two economies, global market conditions, and the relative value of each currency in the international marketplace.
It is important to note that the Zimbabwean Dollar, introduced in 2009, is a “demonetized currency,” meaning there is no physical cash equivalent. An electronic equivalent of the Zimbabwean Dollar is used for transactions, and the rate of exchange between it and the US Dollar (as well as other currencies) is tracked by financial exchanges and stock markets around the world.
What is the lowest currency?
The official “lowest currency” is based on the exchange rate of a particular currency. Currently, the lowest-valued currency in circulation is the Iranian Rial, which is worth about 0.000043 United States Dollars (USD).
However, there are some currencies that are even lower in value than the Rial, though not in circulation. The Belarusian Ruble is the lowest-valued currency in the world, valued at around 0.000021 USD.
How much are Zim bonds worth?
The worth of Zim bonds depends on many factors, including the current market demand and interest rates. In general, Zim bonds are valued through a process called yield-to-maturity, or YTM. This calculation considers the bond’s coupon rate, face value, time to maturity, and current market interest rate.
The YTM calculation helps investors determine the long-term worth of the bond, or its market value. To accurately determine the value of Zim bonds, investors will have to research the most up-to-date market data.
Additionally, investors should consider the liquidity of Zim bonds, since some bonds may not be as highly traded as others, making it difficult to sell. In such cases, the bond’s market value will often be discounted due to its reduced liquidity.
When it comes to investing in Zim bonds, it is vital to consult a financial advisor to help you weigh the associated risks and rewards.
Does Zim Dollar exist?
No, the Zimbabwean dollar, also known as the Zim dollar, no longer exists. The Zimbabwean dollar replaced the Rhodesian dollar in 1980 and was used as the country’s official currency until 2009 when the country officially abandoned the currency in favour of the US dollar and other foreign currencies.
This decision was taken due to the then ongoing economic crisis in Zimbabwe and the ever-declining value of the Zimbabwean dollar against other currencies. The currency crisis was mainly caused by years of hyperinflation between 2003-2008, and inaccurate exchange rates.
As a result, the Zimbabwean government eventually announced its decision to abandon the Zimbabwean dollar altogether.
