The stories from Weimar Germany were incredible; getting paid twice a day so you could shop at lunchtime to avoid the price increases of the next few hours, prices changing on menus while you ate...
A fellow I once worked with told me about the hyperinflation in Hungary after World War II. He said his aunt went to the store with a wheelbarrow of cash. A thief punched her out, dumped the cash on the ground, and stole the wheelbarrow!
When I was growing up, back in the 1940s, I collected stamps. One of my prizes, given to me by a neighbor, was a Weimar Germany stamp for (as I recall) 50 billion marks.
It's really shocking to realize that someone could work and save for a lifetime, and then find that his life's savings weren't enough to buy a postage stamp.
The Federal Reserve is doing the same thing to us, but not as rapidly. The end result will be the same, though.
