About this banknote

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued this series of banknotes in 2008 during a period of hyperinflation. This series was introduced to keep up with escalating prices and the diminished purchasing power of lower denomination notes. Dr. Gideon Gono, the central bank governor, authorized the release of these high denomination notes.

The front of the 500,000-dollar note (Pick 76) features the Chiremba Balancing Rocks, a symbolic representation of the country's natural heritage. On the back, palm trees and a dairy cow milking parlor are depicted. This note was printed by Fidelity Printers, with dimensions of 148 x 74 mm and a green color scheme on paper with lines.
