Month: February 2024

Police report that a suspect made off with a 16-figure haul after burglarizing a Pennsylvania residence earlier this month.

Investigators say that the Bedford home was broken into on February 6 by “an unknown individual” who made off with several pieces of jewelry, silver dollars worth $20, and 2,000,000,000,000,000 in currency.

Zimbabwean currency.

According to a police report, “twenty Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar bills” were swiped by the burglar.

For some reason, the report values the stolen currency as worth $1 million U.S.. However, the Zimbabwe bills–issued during a period of hyperinflation–are essentially worthless as currency. Instead, they are sold as a numismatic oddity for around $10 apiece.

The burglar also escaped with $30 in loose change.
