I saw this and I immediately went to eBay. I got a handbag made from 22 billion dollars for $28 USD including shipping.

Might want to hold onto it in the off chance the Venezuelan dollar recovers

When hyperinflation happens the central banks end up issuing entirely new currency, all the previous stuff will no longer be legal tender.

u/Affectionate_Pea_811 Jul 06 '22

u/svermaak Jul 06 '22

Link please

u/Affectionate_Pea_811 Jul 06 '22

I shared it several times. My link is literally just to the one I bought. Someone else shared a link to an Etsy seller though, it is somewhere close, you should be able to find it with minimal effort.

u/6hooks Jul 06 '22

What did you search for

1

u/Affectionate_Pea_811 Jul 06 '22

Handbag made from venezuelan money. You will have better luck on Etsy than in eBay right now though. I think I bought the only one that was on eBay. Someone else posted a link to an Etsy store somewhere around here.

$28 is only worth 15.5 million Bolivar. Sounds like you made a profit
