Nope, I bought my "100 trillion Zimbawe dollars" bill off Ebay for about $2. They were legal tender, but only worth a dollar or two in our money, if that. Inflation was running off the scale when they printed them up in Robert Mugabes Wonderland...

It'd be a bargain at the moment, only 95,200 AUD$
