[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 803677, member: 6229"]Through the years since money commenced many countries experienced hyperinflation including Argentina, Bulgaria, China, and others , but the worst came about in 2008 and 2009 (Zimbabwe). Yes Hungary was the worst after WWI and WWII. In Hungary hyperinflastion was so bad people used paper currency as fuel for their heating stoves because it was cheaper to burn banknotes than it was to buy wood. A student stopped in a cafe for a cup of coffee which was listed on the menu at 12,000 Pengos. The student finishewd the coffee and decided he had tiome to consume another one before the school opened fpr classes. After drinking the second cup of coffee he went to the cashier top pay and was startled to discover his bill was 27,000 Pengos. The cashier explained that after he was served the first coffee, the price of a cup of coffee had increased to 15,000 Pengos. It was further noted, that if he had ordered both cups of coffee earlier, it would hace cost him only 24,000 Pengos (12,000 P each). Clinker[/QUOTE]
