Many examples of hyperinflation here. Interesting article

"Governments will often try to disguise the true rate of inflation through a variety of techniques. These can include the following:

Outright lying as to official statistics such as money supply,
inflation or reserves.

WE KNOW THAT

Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or
inflation indices.

WHERE IS M3?

Price and wage controls.

EXAMPLES, ANYONE?

Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess liquidity.
These savings schemes may be described as pensions schemes,
emergency funds, war funds, or similar.

ROBBING SOCIAL SECURITY?

Adjusting the components of the Consumer Price Index, to
remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest. "

WE KNOW THAT

Hmm... Looks like some of it may be happening in the US now?



Many Banknotes here

Most extreme is 1946 Hungary
100,000,000,000,000 Pengo

Interesting note - coins quickly get out of circulation, since
their metal value exceeds printed value, and they are melted.
We have a law now against melting pennies that are worth 2c.
