Thanks, sorry did not bother looking at the link!.Seems like a lot to pay, but if the collectors want to pay it, then pay it they will!
Nothing wrong with collectables of course, I should know judging by all the very questionable ones I now have!
Was hovering over a Gordon Freeman statue this morning to go with my Head Crab zombie!

Indeed. Something is worth what people will pay for it, I guess. Although I agree that it does seem rather a lot.nigelpugh7 said:

Now that I can relate to. Buy it and post up pics, please. Saw this the other day and thought it very much in the spirit of this thread...haven't bought it myself, but had to share.

It's probably on the page before this isn't it?

No reason, but it's come in surprisingly handy for work.
Spring assisted opening is wickedly powerful too.
Aah, just seen you're in the US, and these would probably be illegal at home (UK).
Never mind
I wonder if I could buy one here (India) and smuggle it home innocently in a suitcase...?

Trouble is, the end looks rather like, well, a Smith & Wesson.

I imagine that the novelty value far exceeds the actual value of these notes.For my own amusement:
The Zimbabwean Dollar is currently being phased out and replaced with the US Dollar at as exchange rate of Z$35 Quadrillion to $1. At the current £:$ rate this makes the exchange rate to the Pound Z$55 Quadrillion to £1.
This would make the Z$5 Billion note worth less than one hundred thousandth of a penny.
Assuming that the banknote is 0.1mm thick then if you were to stack them one on top of each other until you had a stack 1 kilometre tall it would still be worth less than a Pound.
(Hopefully I've got that right, there were quite a lot of zeros to work with)

You aren't thinking long-term. At some point when Mugabe is pushing up the daisies they will replace foreign currencies with a new Zimbabwean currency, probably called the dollar, with a more normal exchange rate. At that point I waltz over with my hundred trillion, buy Zimbabwe and become Emperor for Life. As I see it my plan is pretty much foolproof.For my own amusement:
