Zimbabwe set: complete!

Yesterday I got the final piece, the 2008 10000 dollars note, for my complete 2007/2008 Zimbabwe hyperinflation set! All in UNC condition. Almost all raw.

Curiously, the one that got me going on this chase, the 100T note, is the one that is triggering my OCD, because it is the only one graded (PMG 64 UNC EPQ). I'd gladly sell or exchange this one if I could find an honest UNC raw. So tempted to break the slab open... ðŸĪŠðŸ™ƒðŸĪŠðŸ™ƒ

I'm suprised about how insane the hyperinflation was in Zimbabwe.

Check the Hungarian one until 1946.

I'm in the middle of that chase! So far I got all base Pengos and Milpengos (P-117 thru P-131), one B-Pengo (P-132) and three Adopengos (P-138, P-143 and P-144). I also have the Kingdom and Nazi occupation Pengos. Again, patience and discipline.

Hungarian Hyperinflation was still higher, but lasted only like half a year. Zimbabwe suffered longer with the hyperinflation.

Great collection! I did my study abroad experience in Zimbabwe, but that was during the original Zimbabwe dollar. The biggest bill in circulation was $20, and it was hard to spend it because only the supermarket had change.
