Who is on the $100 Trillion bill?
Was it really a Nobel prize winner?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Who else can be on the $100 trillion bill than Mr Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe?

No, seriously, there is no person on the $100 trillion bill, there is a stack of rocks on it, some scenery, and a buffalo.

Another try
A good start for your research. But look closer.
Well, actually it's governor Gono. He received an Ig Nobel Prize form Mathematics:
" Gideon Gono, governor of Zimbabwe’s Reserve Bank, for giving people a simple, everyday way to cope with a wide range of numbers by having his bank print notes with denominations ranging from one cent to one hundred trillion dollars."

Great find!

That's it! Thanks for the help in puzzling out the question. The "Dr." in front of his name is an honorary degree awarded by the Zimbabwe university he was appointed to run, a bit less prestigious than his Ig Nobel award.
What a guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gideon_Gono
What a guy! I didn't even know Zimbabwe still had a 'cent' bill. That really has to cost a lot of money to create.
It's totally against everything money is supposed to represent: A basically worthless item which is worth a higher value because everyone agrees and trusts its higher value...
The man has to be a genius!
