label: Description
content: This 100 trillion dollar note is one of the world’s largest denominations of currency. It was issued in Zimbabwe in 2008 during a period of hyperinflation, when the prices of goods rose rapidly and the government printed money in increasingly larger denominations to match market prices. The banknote’s design has been used in Zimbabwe for decades and was printed on the two dollar note in 1983.
