Zero-currency notes have been generated for most of the world: http://zerocurrency.org/

The website hasn't been updated for at least 2 years though.

(Under America, it still lists Barack Obama as the President.

That doesn't seem like a problem unless you're trying to rely on their population figures or something

That's interesting, but half-done (as opposed to the zero-rupee note). The "zero" notes still have the numbers in writing for many countries, with only the largest-font number replaced with 0: close enough to the originals, even one-sided, to be considered a forgery. People have been indicted for worse imitations...

Wow, thats pretty cool, I had no idea. I am a bit shocked that it works though.

It's a shaming mechanism.

If an official is committed to collecting a bribe, it will be useless. But some corrupt officials might be responsive to a verbal dressing down. Handing over a zero-rupee note is less intimidating than delivering a lecture.
