Basically, no. Even when it was in circulation, it had very little value because of inflation, and bills from that period have little collector's value.

You mean 10,000 zl?

Polish banknotes fro 1988 are worthless now.

you mean you have 37,800 zloty?

don't have a clue where to get rid of them

Why would you get rid of 10,000 dollars? just go to the nearest money exchange.

I'd like to see the look on their faces.

Hard to know what she means by '100 dollar bills' if it's Polish money. Does she mean those dewizowa coupons? Also worthless now.

not sure why she's asking "what there worth" right after stating it's 10,000 dollars.

I think she means it's 10,000zl in banknotes, just a guess. Probably not as used as you or I to using different currencies.

Unless it's old dewizowa coupons from the PRL, but either way, they're worth more as fire kindling.

FFS, look at some of the posts above. Or just search on Wikipedia where there are pictures. With denominations like that, they are old inflationary banknotes and not worth much.

Polish communist money

Nothing to do with being "communist", that money was "official" till 1995 and could be exchanged till 2000 (as far as I remember) but due to very high inflation in late 80's/early 90's it drastically lost its value hence in 1995 new money came in and 1 PLN was worth 10000 old zł. The old banknotes/coins could be worth something for collectors, especially If they are in very good condition (not seriously damaged) and If you are far away from Poland (in PL there's still a lot of them) where Polish money is a bit "exotic", then just try to sell it on your local e-bay or similar platform, there will be a chance to make a few $ selling it.

BTW I read an interview with a guy that is some kind of globetroter and he said when he's visiting some slums in Latin America or other dangerous places, he is stuffing his pockets with the old ZŁs and keeps the real money well hidden, that way he got already "robbed" quite a few times with morons running away with a couple thousand of old złs thinking they just stole a fortune.

The money is worth 0.00.

Not really, it's worth exactly 1 grosz = 0.01 PLN. But it doesn't make any difference. You cannot even buy a box of matches for that. And as far as I know, they are no longer exchanged to the current złotys.

If you are far away from Poland (in PL there's still a lot of them) where Polish money is a bit "exotic", then just try to sell it on your local e-bay or similar platform, there will be a chance to make a few $ selling it.

Exactly. It's value as an antic item is higher than as a money.

cool History... I was living in Germany during the conversion to the Euro and the passing of the Mark, so, I had already known the notes value was nothing.. just.. ran across a pile of polish bills.. added up to 19,770, 1988 pln's.. gonna add them to my Mark, Lire', Franc collection.. best I can make it, Dad might have gotten these from grandma after she passed.. and it would'a been late 1980's... was very cool to read these pages, an folks who also have come across such in their family..

All are wallet worn poor.. so.. but, they will make a nice display around grandma and grandpa's photo..

1000

There is no 1000zl note. This means you have a banknote from the old currency which is worthless. Unless it's very old and historic. Who is in the picture on the banknote?
