Washington D.C. (PRWEB) September 18, 2013 -- Scripophily.com®, the Internet’s largest buyer and seller of collectible stock and bond certificates, is offering authentic Fifty Trillion Dollar Banknotes for all purchases over $200. The banknote was issued from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and have an ornate border around it with a vignette of an elephant, a dam, and a beautiful rock structure. This item has the printed signature of the Govenor Dr. G. Gono.
On January 16th, 2009, The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe had introduced a new family of trillion Zim-dollar banknotes. The high denomination of the bank notes were due the country’s 2007 official inflation rate of 6,592.8% although private estimates were as high as 20,000%. From January to December 2008, the money supply growth rose from 81,143% to 658 billion percent.
Due to hyperinflation and price speculation, the use of foreign currencies, such as the U.S. Dollar, was legalized in January 2009, causing general consumer prices to stabilize. The move led to a sharp drop in the usage of the Zimbabwean dollar, as hyperinflation rendered even the highest denominations worthless. However, these high denomination notes are sought after by collectors and make great conversation pieces and gifts.
“We are extremely happy to offer this authentic bank note to our customers based on their beauty and historic significance” said Bob Kerstein, CEO Scripophily.com. “Hopefully, we will never see bank notes in these high denominations again”, Kerstein added.
Bank notes and stock certificates are collected and given as gifts because of their historical significance, beauty and artwork, autographs, notoriety, as well as many other factors. The supply of new certificates reaching the collector market has been substantially reduced due to changes in state laws and stock exchanges rules. Many companies are no longer required to issue physical stock and bond certificates, a process called “dematerialization”.
