If you believe that the Zimbabwe dollar will gain value against the US dollar by even a small margin, you could make out from it.

That would be a great deal, although I do not believe that will happen.

Damn it, either the interwebs lied to me or that is an old conversion rate.
Hm.. can't find the original article that I got the info from, but here's an interesting read http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-per-cent.html

Actually scratch my first response. I will counter your measly 50 billion dollar bank note with this bad boy!
500 Billion obviously, this is the largest currency ever printed, in terms of depicting zeros on it.
But if I was to go all out and flat out decapitate your measly 50 billion I would pull out one of these!
This is from post war Hungary, it was doesn't have any numbers on it but it is worth 10 to the 21 power pengos or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 1 Sextillion pengos!
Just to put it into scale it's Million > Billion > Trillion > Quadrillion > Quintillion > Sextillion.
Check mate 
P.S. Inflation in Hungary was so high that prices doubled every 14 hours!
