Of course, the duration of hyperinflation also needs to be factored in... I think with that included in the mix, Zimbabwe wins all.

But on the REAL reason this report came out: to make us feel “fine” that we’re only going to hit 2,000% annual inflation - not even enough to break the top five! I mean really, what do we have to complain about...

I have a small collection of hyperinflation notes including:

500,000,000,000 (500 billion) mark note from October 1923
100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion) Zimbabwe dollar
100 million pengo Hungatian note from 1946

The good thing about collecting these notes are it’s a cheap hobby because there are a lot circulating out there. For a small price, some of the German notes go for $1, you get to own a small piece of history.
