This listing is for the photographed 2008 Zimbabwe 50 Billion Dollar bank note. Special Agro-Cheque (Agricultural Cheque). Very interesting piece of history that is not commonly seen! Very high denomination of a Zimbabwe dollar note printed during their period of hyperinflation. Pick# 87 (Pick Number 87).

Starting in 2007, Zimbabwe experienced an extreme period of hyperinflation, causing high denominations of their currency to be issued. Within one year, emergency currency ranged from 10 dollars to 100 billion dollars. The inflation reached nearly 25,000% during the height of the crisis. Much of the middle class fled as the hyperinflation started, removing a large amount of the country's capital, causing unemployment rates to rise to 80%, with food production and manufacturing rates decreasing by nearly half. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe blamed the hyperinflation on the economic sanctions imposed by the U.S., the IMF, and the European Union, which restricted trade and froze the assets of many involved in the Mugabe regime. The printing of money to finance Zimbabwe's involvement in the Second Congo War and their under-reporting of the spending to the IMF is also argued to be a cause of the hyperinflation by economists. In 2009 the country stopped printing their own paper money, instead using those of other countries, the majority being the U.S. dollar. This decision led to the decrease in inflation rates over the next 4 years. The Zimbabwe government decided to reintroduce their own currency in 2019, with another rise in inflation occurring shortly after the switch, reaching 557.2% in 2020. As of June 2024, Zimbabwe has an inflation rate of 33.6%.

This tragic period of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe was detrimental to its citizens. The price of basic goods increased as much as 200%, life expectancy dropped, and people lost their trust in the economic stability and the actions of their government. This note depicts the height of the hyperinflation period of 2007-2009 and represents the severe economic instability that Zimbabwe citizens had to endure during this period.

Extremely interesting and rare piece of economic history, great find!

Thanks for stopping by!
