>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.
Sorry for my ignorance of exact years - I said "non-war-related". Does this apply here? I know Germany had a higher inflation rate than the one I mentioned, after WW-1.
>Programming was interesting in those days :)
Yeah, it was a nightmare here, too - even with the "relatively low" inflation rates.
