500 000 Roubles

Belarus redenominated in 2000, replacing notes at 1,000 old roubles to 1 new rouble — which meant this 500,000-rouble note became a 500-rouble note overnight. The hyperinflationary spiral that made denominations like this necessary was largely a consequence of Belarus maintaining a soft monetary union with Russia through the 1990s while running persistent budget deficits and subsidizing state enterprises well past the point of sustainability.
