Possibly the biggest $ find EVER on TNET

[pynchinflint]

Have a great teller that will sometimes save the junk for me that they would normally throw away. I hadn't stopped by to see her lately so I thought I'd pay her a visit. Sure enough, she had a few coins. Got a Canadian quarter, a 2 cent Euro, and a 1 shilling coin from Kenya. Of course I thanked her and was about to head out the door when she called me back and asked if I was interested in bills. I said sure and she handed me the bill in the picture.

HOLY COW!!!!!!!

I've never felt this wealthy.

So my plans for tomorrow are;

1) Take the wife out for the dinner of a lifetime.
2) Pay off the mortgage
3) Pay off a bit of the national debt

I just cant believe my luck and thanks for looking.

Good one!

 

[JJtheRollHunter]

Oh, wait. I didn't read the whole post. I didn't know if you were serious. That bill is from a few years back when Zimbabwe had hyperinflation. The bill is worthless. Sorry.

 

[AGCoinHunter]

Read the story of Zimbabwe, a great example of what Marxist, Communist, and Dictator can do to ruin a otherwise productive and beautiful country. It should be taken as a warning.

Say it ain't so JJ. Way to burst a guys bubble.

Seriously, I figured it was worth about as much as the recycled paper it contains.

And AG...I couldn't agree with you more. It is down right scary as to what could happen here at home.

I just figured I could gloat for at least a day and say "yep...I'm a multi trillionaire".
My first banner find will have to wait I guess.

Haha. I just couldn't tell if you were serious or not.

Nothing wrong with communism, just the way it is implemented. The one flaw in communism is that it does not take into account human emotion, otherwise it is an excellent idea. Personally I'm socialist in my views. Not trying to start an argument, just saying I like the idea of no rich and no poor, and free healthcare for all.

Sorry for going on a tangent. That is a very interesting bill, I have a similar arrangement with the tellers at my dump bank. They always hold all the coins stuck on the magnet of the coin counter and hand them to me free of charge. Pretty sweet!

Not to start anything myself, but it feels like the country is already slowly moving towards this state.

(If everyone is flat broke, then you can't really consider anyone right or poor, right??)

I bought several of these on ebay and took one of them to my pick up bank and asked the lady if I could deposit it.

She didnt bat an eye at first but then noticed the amount...., then the fact it was a Zimbabwe note...

I appreciate the opinion as well and happy you are able to share it freely --for now anyway. Keep in mind though about rich and poor that once the incentive for working hard and getting ahead is taken away there wont be a rich, or even middle. We will all be living off what the government gives us, which will also be little since they will have no one to take it from anymore. Here in georgia at least ive learned to hunt, fish, make fire and purify water with only nature providing for when it all hits the fan.

The one problem i see with this is that, if you look at the European, the Canadian, or even the Cuban healthcare system, it is the government who pays for healthcare and the government alone. In England, they even pay you if it cost you money to make it to the hospital. (i.e. taxi, etc.) And even as the government pays for this, they do not collect taxes for it. It has also been said that the quality of performance by doctors is not as great because there is no reason to do better than average, but doctors are given benefits for doing a better job, and although none will make millions, I believe a few hundred thousand a year to help everyone have their best chance at survival is worth it. Overall quality of life in terms of health is better in these countries, and length of life is also longer.
Having said all this, those are without a doubt useful traits to have, and everyone should have some basis of this knowledge.

I apologize for sort of hijacking this post, just thought i would reinforce my opinion. Thanks.

 

[Coins4Cheese]

Wow, nice find! You're now 100 trillion dollars richer................... In Zimbabwe money.

That's neat. I'd like to find a couple of those for my kids. They would LOVE them!

 

[tim2357]
