<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 739684, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t know if there are any countries in this world with currencies based on the current supply of some commodity; I don&#039;t think so. Coins do of course have some intrinsic value <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but that is by default lower than the face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a list of hyperinflation countries and periods that might be helpful:</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation#Examples_of_hyperinflation" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation#Examples_of_hyperinflation" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation#Examples_of_hyperinflation</a></p><p>Note however that in some cases (e.g. Hungary) no coins were issued during those times. In other cases (e.g. Turkey) they did not use figures only, so you see coins that say &quot;25 Bin Lira&quot; for example. Well, &quot;bin&quot; means &quot;thousand&quot;, so it is a 25,000 lira piece ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
