This is real. It’s a cheque made out in Zimbabwe to purchase a tractor. I remember as a kid being blown away by the fact that there was something bigger than a billion. I was incredibly excited to learn that it was called a “trillion.” It just sounds so make-believe. A TRILLION! Surely that is the biggest denomination ever?
Wrong.
Try a “QUADRILLION!”
One quadrillion, seventy two trillion, four hundred and eighteen billion
and three million dollars
ONLY
Yup, won’t be long before things in Zim cost in the Sexdecillions..
It’s radical. The peeps in Zim should write the millions at the end as a fraction, like we do with cents.
One quadrillion, seventy two trillion, four hundred and eighteen billion and 3/100.
Nailed.
