Here are some links for you to research:

Look under the “Years of crisis” subheading for some interesting information about hyperinflation.

The Worst Episode of Hyperinflation in History: Yugoslavia 1993-94

Make sure you read to Page 3 of this article. Explains how people would wait to pay phone bills because inflation was happening so quickly.

Direct quote: “Restaurant bills could double before diners finished their meal, and ministers passed laundry baskets around for the collection in their church.”

Uh, no.
