13,000 percent inflation. Now that is hyperinflation. Hopefully the Venezuelans will start printing bank notes with more zeroes so they can become collection items.

https://dolartoday.com lists the unofficial exchange rate (which is illegal to publish in Venezuela) as between 260,000 and 280,000 bolivars per dollar.
