  • @ZGryphon

    When I was in high school circa 1990, one of my friends went on a school trip to Poland. They were having a slightly less epic hyperinflation event at the time (they ended up doing a 10,000-to-1 redenomination of the złoty a few years later), and I remember my friend came back with a 1-million-złoty bill. It wasn't _completely_ worthless, but at the exchange rate in effect at the time he was there, it had cost him something like $20, which he figured was worth it to be able to tell people he was a millionaire. :)

    • @alewis514
      @alewis514 2 года назад +4

      i am from Poland and barely remember this period as i was just a few years old. New banknotes started appearing in 1994 but old ones were legal tenders until about 1998 I think (with their 1:10000 conversion ratio). Hyperinflation was stopped in about 1992-3, it remained in double digits until 2000-ish but it was a far cry from 1989-1990 craziness. Even though getting salaries in the millions (a common salary in mid-1990's was about 10 million old PLN or 1000 new PLN) was pretty short-lived people got used to it and liked it. They were often expressing their income / spending in millions well into the 2000's.
      The bad side of high inflation was running out of money before you'll receive your next paycheck. Normally people were used to living on a monthly wage and could plan their spending, but when this inflation came into place this was no longer possible. You realized that it's still 10 days to next paycheck and you ran out of money. You have nothing left, not even for a single pack of cigs or loaf of bread. People started demanding employers to pay them twice a month or even once a week. At least we didn't reached completely uncontrolled inflation levels like Germany in 1923 or Hungary in 1946. In those cases prices were doubling every few hours. Currency was completely useless and people were paid in raw goods instead.

In total, they cancelled 12 0's, but we some how still managed to get to those crazy large denominations.

Some $100 Trillion notes command a very high price due to their serial number and grade (condition).
