There seems to be $100B note. What am I missing?

They cut 10 zeros from the currency in august---100B was converted into whatever 100B/10^10 is, and they restarted from there.

May have something to do with it being a "special agro-cheque", though knowing nothing of Zimbabwean currency, I'm not sure.
