before denomination, divide it by 10 000, and i am not sure if they are really supported by bank anymore – so more or less its worth about 7PLN now- but more of collectibles – not high value tho
Not valuable
I miss Maria in my wallet 🙂
They aren’t precious, in the best case you could sell them for 20/30zł. Trash them or keep them for the next 100 years 🙂
The time for really late people who had stashed old PLZ banknotes is over – it was possible to exchange these up to December 31st 2010
Funny thing though: 20 000 note was in circulation, but was quite uncommon. In most cases you saw 10 000 and 50 000. Even more uncommon was the 2000 note.
Only sentimental
I always thought that dude on the 50k note looks surprised at all the zeros.
20000 = 2
50000 = 5
Thousand years in the future they will have historical value 😉
Keep then they wil be worth alot
No
Why oh why do we have such underwhelming bank notes now. And all men.
They have collector’s value. As I see, they are in moderately good shape. This 20k bank note is worth even over 100 PLN when in perfect shape. Your obliviously is not, but I bet you can get like 30-50 for it. 50k seems to be more common, but I guess again 20-30 PLN is possible. I have small collection, but I focus on coins, my knowledge about papers is very limited, I mostly based my answer on fast research on auctions.
With current rate inflation is rising, they might be used again soon lol
Maybe in the future
About as much value as the paper it’s printed on
Pay them in polish shop and observe face of the cashier…priceless
In this state – They are literally pieces of paper.
Number – not a good one too.
Rarity – common / mass produced
They look like they’re in good condition.
They are from the time we had a very high inflation. They were converted to current currency by cutting 4 zeroes, so the nominal value is pretty low, but maybe they have some value for hobbyists, but probably not much, as they used to be in circulation not long ago.
Not really. The whole reason those banknotes stopped being used was that despite having big numbers they were worth jack shit
With the current inflation in Poland I have a feeling that these might be re-used very soon #***** *** 😂😂😂
Any currency collectors on here? What would these two be worth if uncirculated? PMG 60+
Oodles of nostalgic value, for sure.
No
When these could still be exchanged by the central bank:
20,000 PLZ = 2 PLN
50,000 PLZ = 5 PLN
So, over all, that’s 7 PLN, which is $1.61.
But maybe you’ll be able to sell those on Allegro/eBay/OLX/whatever for more, if you find a sucker.
Only in museum, even if converted to current polish złoty you wouldn’t get 0,01zl for that
All Poles have that stuff in their drawers, wait another century to value them.
2 and 5 zl, respectively, I think you can still exchange them in banks. Not exactly worth waiting in the line…
Ah, Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa. Neither “people’s” nor a “commonwealth” nor really “Poland.” I do not miss those years.
That was the only time that I was a millionaire when I went on holiday to Poland 1989 / 1990. Good times.
Bro it’s literally written on the notes, 20k and 50k, enjoy your shopping.
no, but don’t worry, they never had
Damn. I found some old leu, they are now worth double
They are looking very good. I want 50zł with our pope- Jan Paweł II
Would those still have that value as legal tender?
When I was young my grandma gave me 8000 to buy butter
About tree fiddy
Thank you all for your replies!! I have plenty of them and also different numbers (500k, 100k,10k,1000, 100..) I am not Polish neither living in Poland. I guess I will just store them somewhere and keep them there, you never know what happens in the future.
Man, I remember buying tic tacos for 2k at Białe Jezioro as a kid
They do, but only for collectors
If they were perfect maybe. But they aren’t so they are worth basically nothing
not rly. but they sure look cool
Toilet paper unfortunately : (
I have a few from 1946, not worth much.
Keep because they’re cool, not valuable 🙂
The one in the bottom is worth 50k of nothing and the top one is worth the equivalent of 20k of nothing
No
Their value is in demonstrating the failure of a socialist economy.

I don’t think so. Probably only for collectors
