Weimar inflation is probably the most extreme example of inflation in world history:

July 1922 493 Marks to the US$
Dec 1922 7,592 Marks to the US$
Jan 1923 18,000 Marks to the US$
July 1923 353,000 Marks to the US$
August 1923 4,620,000 Marks to the US$
November 1923 4,200,000,000,000 Marks to the US$

(Source "A Century of War" pp71-72)

18 months.......

In my opinion this was a deliberate destruction of the middle class in Germany at that time.
