I wonder if you could make money by buying zimbabwe dollars and then selling them to a paper recycling company? Or use them as very cheap toilet paper?

I don't think they print 1 dollar bills I'm not sure what the lowest denomination paper currency is but it probably 10,000 or 100,000 dollars

On 18 August 1946, the forint (new money of Hungary) was introduced at a rate of 400 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 or 4×10 upon 29 (short scale: four hundred octillion; long scale: four hundred quadrilliard) pengő (Hungary's old money).
As a comparison, 1 Hungarian forint at the moment is about $ 240.The inflation was so bad that when people got their salaries in the morning, they rushed to spend it because by the afternoon it was worthy much less. There would be no point piling up such money.

I think Fidel Castro has a one trillion dollar bill. He got it from Mr. Burns:

it is not the other way round - 240 HUF is $1 ?

LOL, Csaba just triggered a currency rush on Hungarian forints!
Yep, exchange rates are a funny thing- as an ordinary consumer back home in the UK it's not something you think about much until your holidays come around as we buy most products nationally (and private import is somewhat inconvenient when you're an island), but here in Sweden the weak Swedish krona and strong Danish krona has paradoxically insulated the southern Swedish retail market from the worst of the economic crisis. The Danes are flocking across the Öresund bridge from Copenhagen to Malmö in their thousands every weekend to get almost a 30% discount on everything they buy. It was quite astonishing on Saturday to hear so much Danish being spoken in every queue in every shop in Malmö's city centre.
