HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) -- Western visitors to Zimbabwe are looking for zeros. They're snapping up old, defunct Zimbabwe bank notes, most notably the one hundred trillion Zimbabwe dollar bill, as an economic souvenir.
The one hundred trillion Zimbabwe dollar bill, which at 100 followed by 12 zeros is the highest denomination, now sells for $5, depending on its condition.

1 US Dollar = 376.300 Zimbabwe Dollar
1 Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWD) = 0.002657 US Dollar (USD)
Median price = 373.300 / 376.300 (bid/ask)
Minimum price = 373.300 / 376.300
Maximum price = 373.300 / 376.300

I don’t see how this could be very collectible.
The Zimbabwe government printed these 100 trillion dollar bills by the bushel. Just doesn’t seem to be a very rare item.
