yeah, germany in the 1923 wasn 't a nice place to live. Inflation was so bad that prices would double every 49 hours. The worst inflation in history occured in Hungary after the end of WWII. Inflation hit 4.19 x 1016%/month. (yeah, that's 42 quadrillion percent inflation per month. Note: I used American numerical names. It would be 42,000 billion percent using European numerical names.) At that rate, prices doubled every 15 hours. nice.
So while Zimbabwe's present rate of inflation is very bad, (the U.S. inflation rate is like 2.5-4%) things could be a lot worse.
