Post WWII Hungary printed 100 Quintillion Dollar notes.

If they’re worthless, what does it matter how many 0s there are.

I have some 1930-vintage German currency that is for 500,000,000 deutschmarks and was worth about 15 cents.

It’s true. Here’s another angle that I know of:
After WWII, Hungary was printing 1 million mark notes so fast that they only had time to print them on one side and it took a whole sack full of these notes to buy a loaf of bread.

At one point, Zimbabwe took 6 zeros off of their money. (Like that would help.)

Japan only deals in yen. If you got paid $100, it would be like 10,000 pennies.
