I actually collect hyper inflation notes. I own the Zimbabwean 100trl note in a PCGS sleeve. I also have quite a few German inflation notes, Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and a few other. Fascinating subject for me. Crazy how money is really just paper. For me these notes are a lesson for future generations.

Thanks for the link, but I personally hate this kind of articles, sometimes misleading... while the hit the nail in some examples, there are many different cases were the currency has been manipulated / modified in such way that it does not matter how high the number is...
One example (back home) will be Venezuela, were they changed few years ago the currency from Bolivar to Bolivar fuerte removing three zeros... so 1000 Bolivar suddenly became 1 Bolivar Fuerte. first weeks/months/year? this seem to be a good thing...
Well today we have a 100.000 Bolivares Fuerte note which actually is 100.000.000 Bolivares...
I'm a bit wealthy then you mates ))))! It has a bigger value (one billion of billion pengo) but less zeros on it. Nevetheless it is the biggest note ever issued.

after some research your note is actually the
1,000,000 billion tengo. There are higher notes issued such as the 100,000,000 billion engo.
i put the 100,000,000 billion on my shopping list.
You are right. The highest ISSUED note was 100 000 000 b-pengo, but egy milliard b-pengo was printed but never issued for circulation. But its nominal value is 1 000 000 000 * 1 000 000 000 000 pengo http://www.myinsulators.com/hungary/pengo.html
