How would I go about getting a zimbabwe 50 billion dollar bill in person?

Question

They stopped printing them as of Aug 1st, and I want to buy one, but I am a little weary of buying things off the internet. Is there a place I can buy it in person. Somewhere in the LA county would be good. Thanks!

Answer 1

They are selling for many times face value on eBay - In Zimbabwe, they are already worth only about 10 cents US.

There is a very big coin show at the convention center in Long Beach from September 18 - 20, and there will be one or two dealers there that might have them. I don't think anybody else will have them, at least yet. I will be there on the 20th, myself.

Added later: If you don't mind a circulated note, I found a dealer that has two for sale. Price for one would be $8, and I should have it in hand in time for the Long Beach show. Please contact me if interested. The same dealer may have 100 Billion notes, also.
