Zimbabwe, in all their economic wisdom, had so much hyper-inflation last year that they had to print 100 trillion Zimbabwe Dollar notes; each one was approximately worth $300 (US).
However, since their economy died and they are now using other currency (a mixture of USD, Euro, etc), all of these notes are now worthless. eBay has quite a few of them, in mint condition. So I bought one:

I don't know what I love the most about it; the 14 zeros it has squashed together, or the fact that something worth $300 last year was bought in mint condition off eBay for less than $3. It's something I shall treasure forever, and use as a warning for my grandchildren about how not to solve an economic crisis.
