This is worse than Germany in the late 1920s, no? People back then were using the money for wallpapering and such.

Actually, the intra-war German experience with hyperinflation, though probably the best known & documented, and marveled-over was far, far from the worst we've seen.

Try Yugoslavia in 1993-1994 and Hungary 1945-46. Talking in the quintillions of percent!

Here's a collection of hyperinflation episodes, just google "hyperinflation" for more.
