Hm... As tragic as this is, I'd still love to have one just for the hell of it..

I don't care if it's pointless like Canadian money .. Still fun to say you have a 50 billion dollar bill..

Re: $50,000,000,000 Bill

I remember seeing, years ago, a political cartoon depicting the devaluation of the German Mark after the war (I don't remember which war ). It showed someone grocery shopping, and the shopping cart was filled with currency........... Glad the U.S. dollar has never gotten that bad.

That was after WWI and the godless french imposed penalties and tarriffs to "punish" the Germans for a war they didn't even start. french are really worthless as a nation.

So we burning a Renault later or what?
