A $10 trillion note!
The Zimbabwean central bank cut 10 zeroes off its currency last month, revaluing the $10 trillion note to $1,00 Zimbabwe dollars, in a bid to ease widespread cash shortages as the country battles the world's highest inflation rate.
The bank has introduced a series of new notes since August, after the central bank struck 10 zeros off the local currency.
Zimbabwe's currency is trading around Zimbabwe $350 -- $35 trillion in the old value -- against the US dollar.
But this new Z$1,000 note can only buy a loaf of bread.
