Zimbabwe rolls out Z$100tr note

Follow-up to Who wants to be a quintillionaire? from Mike's blag

Zimbabwe is introducing a Z$100 trillion note, currently worth about US$30 (£20), state media reports.

Bear in mind that according to xe.com the currency was re-valued with ten zeros chopped off the end. What's 100 trillion with ten zeros added? Somewhere between 100 sextillion and 100 septillion I think, though I'm basing that on two minutes on Wikipedia.
