How much USD would you suggest I pay for this on eBay?

[Kludge]

They have an expiration date.....?

Ya, that's how bad the inflation is :D

They should have made the notes soluble so that they could dissolve when it rains.

How much USD would you suggest I pay for this on eBay?

I paid US$13.50 for 3 of these...so each one was US$4.50

Make sure you get an uncirculated bill....I didn't want a worn-out bill :)

So $10 is a ripoff for one?

Yes $10 is too much

[Ninja Homer]

I want 10 of them so I can be the first trillionaire in the family!

Nah... probably not worth the novelty, I'll just get some silver instead.

[slacker921]

yeah.. I've seen them go for $3-7 pretty consistently.

I've got some that are crisp and uncirculated, but need to get some more so I can carry one around in my wallet for those times when discussion turns to inflation.

and.. make sure yours has the anti-counterfeiting measures (watermark and thread) because believe it or not there are counterfeits being sold. lol..

[RSLudlum]

I got one last week!! And have been showing it off to everyone with great amazement. ;)

Mine got the security thread and watermark :)
The seller I bought them from had good feedback

[powerofreason]

I prefer this one from 1994 Yugoslavia:http://www.rogershermansociety.org/images/dinar11.gif

Bought one off ebay.

If the government of Zimbabwe hadn't chopped off 10 zeroes and I could get it exchanged at the current 450:1 exchange rate, I would have US$222,222,222,222

[MikeStanart]

The expiration date is comedy gold! :D

What have they said?

[jonahtrainer]

What have they said?

Too bad most are too ignorant to understand what is going on with the US relative to gold.

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Pay the bearer one hundred billion dollars. LOL. Why not just say, "you can redeem this piece of paper for another piece of paper just like it?"

Is the security thread the vertical strip going through the 'R' in Dollars?

[robert4rp08]

How about 10 trillion marks from 1923? (http://cgi.ebay.com/XXX-RARE-GEM-CU-RED-WHITE-BLUE-1923-10-TRILLION-MARKS_W0QQitemZ220211330237QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPape r_Money?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116)

Hyperinflation reminds me of :bunchies:.
