P.S. you can buy a Zimbabwe 100 Trillion Dollar Gold Foil Note for under $3. I don't think it was ever real currency though.

As part of a “demonetization” program, Zimbabwe's central bank plans to remove the 100-million dollar, 100-trillion dollar and other bank notes from circulation.
Zimbabwe will rely on the US dollar for purchases
And what will Zimbabweans get for their cash? For every 175 quadrillion Zimbabwe dollars, locals will get $5 in exchange. So, 250 trillion Zimbabwe dollars will be worth just $1.
