TITLE/DESCRIPTION: WHOLESALE ZAMBIBWE $100 QUADRILLION ($100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000) PARODY SPOOF FANTASY ART NOTES

CLASSIFICATIONOF ITEM: Fantasy ArtBanknote(non-genuine artistic creations that look like real money, limitededition novelty bills)

GRADEOR CONDITION: Uncirculated

APPROXIMATESIZE: 5 13/16"wide x 2 7/8" high

ADDITIONALINFORMATION:  This listing is for a wholesale dealer group of 10 pieces of the above-pictured and below-described fantasy art private issue banknotes.  These are fantasy bills from "Zambibwe, " not genuine notes from Zimbabwe.

This new note is a Reed Banknote limited edition with AA prefix and individually-numbered serial number and purports to be from the "Reedserve Bank of Zambibwe."  It has a 2016 date and bears a striking resemblance to the highly-collected Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe $100 trillion bill.  The fun note you receive may have a different serial number.  These "quads" are a similarly-colored and delightfully lampooned "parody" or "spoof" note and three more zeroes have been added to bring the total to one hundred quadrillion dollars ($100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000)!  This incredible fantasy bill is printed in color on both sides on anivory-colored, cotton laid paper containing a circular Reed Banknote repeating legend at right on the back that glows red under UV.  Additionally, a facsimile signature of graphic artist R. J. Reed is also visible as red under UV.  On the front right side and the back left side is the familiar image of Piwi the lovebird, unofficial trademark of the Reed Banknote Co., Sarasota and whose image probably appears on more different bills than any other animal.  On the back of the bill is a waterfall and a lion, as well as Piwi and the Reed Banknote logo.  This faux bill is a cool-looking realistic fantasy and is copyrighted 2016.  You will enjoy the many subtle and not so subtle changes on this bill.  There's even a hidden image!  There is also a scarce ZA prefix "replacement" bill available and a regular AA SPECIMEN bill that is available - please check our listings. 

Of course, there are many beautiful genuine old U.S. and foreign bills, but for those of you who already have all thereal ones (or for those of you who just like great-looking designs, money art, orwho maybe can't afford the skyrocketing prices of most of the realbills), this note is for you.  Dealers - what a marvelouseye-catching display itemin your case!  Collectors - what agreat piece to add to your collection, real or fake!   Again, thisis a piece of banknote art and not an actualbanknote.  Éstees un pedazo del arte del billete de banco y no de un billete debanco real.  Ciò è unapartedell'arte della banconota e non di una banconota reale.  C'est unmorceau d'art de billet debanque et pas d'un billet de banque réel.  Dieses ist einStück derBanknotekunst und nicht der tatsächlichen Banknote.

Thisprofessionally laser-printed fantasy looks real, is great for display, and won't cost you much (and youwon't have to worry about it getting stolen!).  On the back of each note is printed a non-negotiable and non-legal tender disclaimer in compliance with the Hobby ProtectionAct, so that unscrupulous individuals can't try to sell it asgenuine.  As mentioned, this note was printed in limited edition, plus a tiny issue of "specimens" - get yours now!  Greatfor display inyour shop, coin show or flea market booth, den, oruse as an eye-catching prop in your next production!  With the introduction of some new designs, these faux notes from the Reed Banknote Co., Sarasotahave never been more popular!  These bills, unlike manynovelty and funny money notes, are not produced in mass quantities butonly in small, limited printing runs, so not everyone around can ownone.  Their spectaculareye-catching designs and colors are the next best thing to owning thereal thing, which do not exist anyway!  Again, this note is not agenuineissue of Zimbabwe, just a neat artistic "spoof note" creation!  Este billete de banco no es genuino!  Check out some of our other eye-catching designs!  "Sooner or later, if you collect banknotes or like banknote art, you will own a Reed.""

FEEDBACK:  We normally leaveyou great feedback once theitemhas been shipped.  Pleaseremember to leave us (hopefully) greatfive star seller feedback on all points.  If you don't sellon ebay, you may not realize it, but anything less than five stars isconsidered essentially bad service by ebay management and affects aseller's ability to compete inthe marketplace.  It is our goal toprovide a wonderful buying experience to all of our customers.  Inorder to keep ebay from being overwhelmed by a few large sellers whowill then be free to monopolize and control the market, please supportus and the other "little guys" out there who deliver a great product ina timely manner and offer you items that you may not be able to findanywhere else (at least at a reasonable price)!

SPECIALDISCLAIMER CONCERNING FANTASY ART, NOVELTY, PROP, & OTHERNON-NOTES:  Rarelywecome across buyers who have unrealistic expectations about the qualityof non-genuine banknotes that we sometimes offer for sale.  Theseinclude movie prop notes, common novelty bills, Chinese hell notes, political notes, replica notes, reprint notes, and fantasy artbills.  Due to the fact that these "notes" are not issued by somemonetary authority for use as real currency, they can not be held tothe same print quality or paper quality standards as a genuine banknoteprinted by oneof the big banknote companies like American Banknote or Thomas de laRue.  Quality can vary depending on the typeof "funny money" bill but they will definitely not be up to thestandards of a banknote that has been created by fine-steelengraving.  Items sold in of themselves are legal to own, however, as with most anything, if misused (i.e.  if someone tries to passone off as a genuine bill), there can be serious outcomes, such asbeing arrested for fraud, passing a counterfeit bill, or uttering aforgery!  Use your head, don't try to spend a non-negotiable billor sell it to another collector as negotiable money.

GRADINGSTANDARDS FOR BANKNOTES AND SIMILAR PAPER ITEMS
GENERALIZED, NON-SPECIFIC GRADES:
LOWGRADE or HEAVILY CIRCULATED -generally POOR to VERY GOOD (see below specific grades)
MIDGRADE or CIRCULATED -generally VERY GOOD to VERY FINE (see below specific grades)
MIXEDCIRCULATED - generally LOWGRADE to HIGH GRADE circulated (see below specific grades) HIGHGRADE or LIGHTLY CIRCULATED -generally VERY FINE to ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (see below specific grades)
VIRTUALLYNEW - generally ALMOSTUNCIRCULATED to full UNCIRCULATED (see below specific grades)

SPECIFIC GRADES: POOR- a virtual 'dog, ' generally a raggy, dirty, torn, and sometimestaped-uppoor-excuse of a banknote that has seen better days and is generallycollectibleonly as a filler or curiosity unless it is extremely rare.  FAIR- this is barely one step up, maybe not quite so raggy or dirty butperhapsmissing a piece or more of the note along with other defects. Thisgrade still exhibits extreme limpness generally.  GOOD- like the grade 'GOOD' for a coin, GOOD really isn't so good althoughit is possible to have a semi-attractive note that still grades onlyGOODdue to the fact that it may have tears and small missing pieces as wellas heavy creasing.  Most GOOD notes have seen a lot of circulationand will show evidence of this such as many heavy folds, stains, edgetearsperhaps extending into the design, pinholes, a center hole fromexcessivefolding, etc.  VERYGOOD- this grade will have fewer or less severe defects than the grade ofGOODand a number of VG notes are in fact quite attractive, especiallyinstanceswhere a note has been folded and refolded numerous times on the samecreases, wearing a small hole through center and maybe causing a tear to appearin the design.  At this point I want to introduce the notion ofsplitgrades, that is, an instance where the note is clearly better than GOODbut not quite VG.  In this case, we might call the grade G-VG orG+or even aVG (about very good).  Experience is the best teacher forthis; after you've handled dozens of well-used notes, you may feel morecomfortable about split grading. Maybe you'll never feel comfortablebecauseyou might not even like the idea.  We use split grades on occasionand believe most dealers and collectors do. I am less enthusiasticaboutthe use of a 70-point grading scale such as is used forgradingcoins; more on this when we get there.  FINE-this grade exhibits still considerable circulation with a number ofcreases, folds, wrinkles, minor border tears (which cannot enter the designportionof the note), and maybe a few pin or staple holes. At this point, anoteis appearing somewhat attractive at least. After handling enoughdifferentnotes, you'll come across some that appear to meet or exceed a certaingrade except for some defect.  Usually, this is handled byassigningthat grade to the note but following it with a description of thedefect.For example, you might have a note that is at least a FINE except forthatsomewhat obvious stain in which case you would describe it as FINE butstained or FINE but moderately stained or FINE but heavy corner stain, etc., whatever the case might be.  Naturally the value of a notelikethis would normally be lower than a defect-free note of the same grade.Generally the higher grade a note is, the more 'picky' you should beaboutdescribing a defect that is not a normal characteristic of thatgrade. For example a VERY FINE note with a tiny tear or two might be listed asVF but border tear or could just be downgraded (or net graded) to F-VFor "net F-VF, "though thetear should still be described.  VERYFINE- Moving along, we start getting into the truly bright and moreattractivenotes in the VF grade and up.  General characteristics of a VFnoteinclude: not more than a few vertical/and horizontal folds, a crisppaper, edges and corners can show slight wear but no tears are found in theborderareas or anywhere else for that matter on the typical VF note. A slightamount of soil or smudging can be present but this should really beminimalin my opinion.  EXTREMELYFINE - This is an extremely attractivenote, showing only minor evidence of handling.  According to the gradingstandards of the International Bank Note Society, or IBNS, an EF notemayexhibit 'a maximum of three light folds or one strong crease.'  AnEF note is bright and without signs of soil. To the casual observer, itshould appear just about new. There will be only very minute wear onthecorners or edges.  ABOUTUNCIRCULATED- The next step up from extremely fine, this is a note which wouldgradeuncirculated except for some very minor handling or use such as aso-calledwallet fold where the note has a very light fold (not a creasedfold). An AU note might have a slight bend or wrinkle from being counted. Inanycase, this remains a very bright, new-looking note.  An AU-UNCdesignationis often applied to notes with an extremely inconspicuous countingwrinkle, or a note which might have a tiny corner nick, rippled surface of thepaper(due to humidity or some other environmental condition), or a notehavinga so-called dimple at the top of the security strip.  UNCIRCULATED- New, as issued, with no defects with one possible exception.  Itis possible to have an UNC note that has staple holes, this due to thefact that some countries, including India and Pakistan, normally staplequantities of notes together prior to issue.  In this case, adescriptionof 'UNC - usual staple holes' is the rule.  Otherwise, anuncirculatednote is just that. More so in regards to U. S. paper currency but alsooccasionally used in describing UNC world notes are the adjectives'choice'and 'gem.'  I could see a particularly well-centered, attractivenoteperhaps earning one of these designations, however, I'm not convincedweneed both terms.  This mainly due to the concern that people wouldnext move toward a silly multi-point UNC grading system like that ofcoins, particularly U. S. coins. In fact this has already happened. Some veryrare (and not-so-very-rare) U. S. and world notes are being "slabbed"(put in special sealedholders)and commercially graded by numismatic grading companies using the70-pointscale.  Justmy personalopinion, but it seems like a convenient way to squeeze a lot moredollarsfor a "superb gem UNC MS-66 note."  To newcomers to the numismaticcommunity, "MS" refers to mint state (i. e. Uncirculated) and the "66"part indicates the relative "grade of uncirculation" with 60 being thelowest and 70 the ultimate or theoretically "perfect" note.  AboutUncirculated would range from 50 to 59, etc.  This system has beenin use for a number of years now in the coin business.  The worstpart is, the difference in a coin's value from a single key gradingrange(say MS-65 to MS-66) can be thousands of dollars for a "rare"item. This great difference in perceived value by some is why the wholegradingsystem is controversial by nature because grading, is, in the finalanalysis, subjective (i. e. "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"). Thus, thereis a lot of room for abuse.  Also I have not been impressed withthe grading of some of the so-called professional gradingcompanies.  I once sold a slabbed note that looked to me to be inVG grade but the grade on the holder said VF!  I warned thepotential buyers of this (the note was in an auction) and still it soldfor at least the price of a nice VF note - go figure!).  I believeanote will stand on its own; if it's hard to find, attractive, andactivelysought by collectors, it's going to bring a better price.  Manyworldnotes are also common, but so attractive that they are always eagerlysnappedup by enthusiastic collectors.  There are a number of older notesfrom hard-to-find countries that list for a low price in The Standard Catalog of World Paper Moneybut sell for multiples of the catalog price due to the fact they are sodifficult to locate.   Most world paper collectors and dealerswith experience will tell you the catalog is a starting point guide butthere are many values listed in there that don't "jive" with the realworld - they are either too high or too low in many cases. Anotheritemto perhaps bear in mind, the grading system for U. S. notes is similarin many ways to that of world notes, but it has been my experience thatthe world system is generally more conservative, particularly for theuppergrades.  I have seen ads like "UNC - 1 fold."  What does thatmean?  Sounds like an EF or AU note to me (EF if creased, AU ifjusta light fold or "wallet bend").  Anadditionalpoint - notes, like coins, have sometimes been cleaned or had theirappearanceimproved in some way. This is not always apparent.  Somecollectors have no problem with this, othersfeel, as with coins, that the items shouldn't be altered in any way.Fornotes, alterations can include actually washing the note (literally"launderingmoney!"), trimming it, erasing graffiti, pressing the note, mendingtears, etc. The buyer should be aware that a note can be washed and pressed toimprove its grade and a note altered in this way should not command theprice of a note naturally appearing in this grade. A word of advice onmending tears, if you are inclined to mend tears, please don't usecellophanetape. Sooner or later it makes a mess of whatever its been taped to asit turns yellow and brittle. If you feel you need to tape a tear, usethepermanent translucent tape that's now widely available.  Hopefullythis clarifies grading a little if you're a beginner or at least servesto demonstrate my interpretation of it and what kind of gradingcriteriayou should expect and demand from my company.  Clients have been, I  am happy to report, very pleased with the quality of service asthe return rate for notes has been a tiny fraction of  far lessthan one percent.   (These grading standards taken from mymisterbanknote web site)
