1000 Roubles

Belarus redenominated in 2000, lopping four zeros off the post-Soviet rouble to produce this series — meaning this 1000-rouble note was worth what a 10,000,000-rouble note had been worth just years earlier. The redenomination didn't stabilize much: by the time this series ended in 2011, inflation had already rendered the 1000-rouble denomination effectively useless for daily transactions, and the country was heading toward another catastrophic currency crisis in 2011 that would see the rouble lose roughly half its value against the dollar within months.
