Sorry to disappoint you, but try to find some facts about Yugoslav inflation of 1993. It's been somewhere in trillions of percents - which means that within the last three months, nine zeros had to be removed from the money. New banknotes were printed at about each three weeks. I still have a few of those - the biggest nominal value was 50,000,000,000 dinars, worth about five bucks when it first hit the streets (which was about two days before it was officially published), and after ten days it was worth one pack of cigarettes.

Later, someone tried to plot a curve to see how did the exchange rate behave, and had to apply logarithm twice to get a straight line.

Programming was interesting in those days :)

>People here are so accustomed to compare the currency with the US$ that they tend to think of the US$ as absolutely stable, which of course it isn't (i.e., if the exchange-rate with the dollar changes from 1:7 to 1:7.7 that is sometimes interpreted as a 10% inflation - completely disregarding the inflation that the US$ suffers).

I take the word "suffer" as subjective. Inflation is an exportable commodity here.
