Acquiring African money as a teaching aid?

How do I go about buying (very small amounts of) Zimbabwean currency?
The Zimbabwean Reserve Bank is issuing $200 and $500 million dollar notes, in response to that country's hyperinflation. How would I (an American) acquire a handful of those notes, to use in explaining what hyperinflation is and how it works?
Note: I have no interest in large volumes, and in no way would be acting as a currency marketer. I'm thinking in the range of $50 - $100 USD. ($200 million ZD = ~ $8)

This post was deleted for the following reason: Pretty much asked before. -- cortex
There was also a MetaTalk post about whether or not this is a good idea.
