Explanation

Zimbabwe issued a 100 billion dollar bank note in July 2008 to cope with astronomical levels of hyperinflation. At that time, the country's economy was in crisis, and prices were doubling every few days. This note was part of a series of increasingly high denominations that eventually led to the currency being suspended.
