The historical arc

The Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar note was dated 2008, released in January 2009 during hyperinflation that peaked at approximately 79.6 billion percent month-on-month in mid-November 2008 (Steve Hanke, Cato Institute), and withdrawn just three months later when Zimbabwe abandoned its dollar.

Methodology

This index is compiled from Planet Banknote's own live retail listings, making it a first-party dataset rather than aggregated third-party estimates.

A public, grade-specific price index for the Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar note did not previously exist. Market references typically cited auction results or aggregated dealer prices without grade specificity, making it difficult for collectors to understand what different conditions actually cost at retail.

We track prices across the following grades:

• Raw uncirculated with AA prefix (the most common serial prefix for this note)
• PMG-certified grades 65, 66, 67, and 68 with EPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality)
• PCGS-certified grade 68 with PPQ (Premium Paper Quality)
• Bulk quantities (100-note consecutive bundles)

We update this index monthly based on our current inventory and retail listings. When a grade is out of stock, we note that rather than estimate a price. Prices reflect Planet Banknote retail only and do not represent wholesale, auction, or other dealer prices.

How to read banknote grades

Banknote grading uses a 1-70 numerical scale, where 70 is a theoretically perfect note. Most collectible Zimbabwe 100 trillion notes fall in the 65-68 range.

The grade ladder from highest to lowest condition:

• UNC (Uncirculated): No signs of wear or handling
• AU (About Uncirculated): Minimal handling, slight wear at corners
• XF (Extremely Fine): Light wear, crisp paper
• VF (Very Fine): Moderate wear, still attractive
• F (Fine): Obvious circulation wear
• VG (Very Good) and G (Good): Heavy wear

EPQ (PMG) and PPQ (PCGS) indicate the paper is original and unaltered, with no cleaning, pressing, or restoration. These designations add value and confirm authenticity.
