BBC NEWS | Africa | Zimbabwe bank issues $500m note

The central bank has issued a 500m Zimbabwe dollar banknote, worth US$2, to try to ease cash shortages amid the world’s highest rate of inflation.

The previous highest denomination note was for Z$250m, issued 10 days ago.

Meanwhile, the opposition has rejected the move to delay the presidential run-off, possibly until July, saying it was a government ploy to stay in power.

I wonder how I can get a hold of some of these notes. It would just make me feel filthy rich!
