Zimbabwe money

Some time ago I blogged about developments in Zimbabwe, and included a link to a twenty-dollar Zimbabwean bill. Strangely enough, that link has become one of the most popular items on this blog. So in response to demand, I’ve scanned some of the Zimbabwean currency I collected during my six months there in 1990, and my return visit in 1993. At the time, the twenty-dollar bill was the biggest denomination the government printed.

The extent of the economic devastation in Zimbabwe can be seen at Wikipedia, where a $100 billion note is pictured with the three eggs it could purchase when it was issued.
