[Attention Surplus Disorder]

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.

Did Carter's stagflation make the list? ROFL

From inflation in the Roman Empire:

It also meant vastly increasing the amount of coins in circulation. There was a corresponding increase in prices. The emperors usually blamed the price increases on the greed of merchants.

Some things never change.

Also:

When prices rose Diocletian attributed the inflation to the greed of merchants. In 301 AD Diocletian issued an edict declaring fixed prices; i.e., price controls.

Nixon comes to mind, too.
