When I was young(er), I collected stamps. I had some German ones from the
1920's which had a face value of 1 mark, but were overstamped for (I
think, they are under a pile of old records)  1 milliard. I have
Cambodian bank notes of 50,000 face value. The person that gave them to
me did not bother to change them. After that, we have Zimbabuan money,
and Indian (to an extent).
