MILESTONE ; 1000 NOTE IN THE COLLECTION



Well here it is, my 1000 note in the collection and a great note as well. This note - a 100 Pengo note from 1945 - is a large note. However in 1946 the Pengo went into Hyperinflation which saw a note of 100 quintillion pengo which is written as:

100,000,000,000,000.000,000 !!!! which at the time had a exchange rate equal to $0.20 and there was notes ordered with 1 sextillion pengo denominations - and another 0 to the one above -  but were never issued.

But back to the note above. the front of the note has Matthias Corvinus, who seemed to be king of most of central europe and the reverse has the royal palace in Budapest
