| Opmerkingen |
By the time this note entered circulation in early 2008, Zimbabwe's inflation rate had already rendered its face value nearly meaningless within days of issue. Fidelity Printers and Refiners — the Reserve Bank's own printing subsidiary — was running presses around the clock to keep pace with denominations that multiplied month by month, a logistical absurdity with few modern parallels.
The colour-shifting ink was a costly security feature on a note whose purchasing power evaporated faster than any counterfeiter could exploit it. Within the same year, the 20,000-dollar denomination would be dwarfed by notes denominated in the hundreds of billions.
