Description

Hungary Szazmillio 100 million 100,000,000 B-Pengo (100 quintillion) 1946 aUNC
hyperinflation banknote from 1946
almost uncirculated
Highest denomination banknote to enter circulation in history!
An almost uncirculated note which is fresher and brighter than the norm for its particular issue. Almost as nice as Gem Uncirculated, but not quite there. A note which shows little to no trace of circulation. It may not have perfect centering and may have counting smudges, or other evidence of improper handling, while still retaining its original crispness. One or two edges might show minimal rounding, but guaranteed no fold, creases, rips.
These banknotes had been in circulation only for a few weeks during the summer of
1946 after World War 2, and are very difficult to find in this uncirculated condition.
The Story behind this banknote:
The banknote's denomination is indeed quite confusing.
It is '100,000,000 b-pengo', which means it is 100,000,000 x 1 (b) billion pengo,
which equals to 100 Quintillion. But, since the Hungarian population at the time
was unable to comprehend such colossal numbers, it was only the letter 'b'
that was placed in front of the pengo, to make it easier for them.
Anyway, since these hyper-inflationary banknotes
were printed in ever greater numbers and variety in the cold and hungry months of 1946,
the population was usually only able to
identify them
by their color.
They were called, 'the red', 'the pink', 'the purple', 'the brown', 'the blue', etc.
