I am usually not one to invoke the “two wrongs make a right” or “stop complaining, other people have it worse” argument but in the 1930’s Germany’s inflation was so bad, that people had to get paid twice a day. The joke was that it was cheaper to burn the money to keep warm than use it to buy coal.
Other countries also have had hyper-inflation.
How much is the ruble worth? Answer 0.0093 of a U.S. dollar. At this rate, it costs 44,086 Rubles to buy a gallon of gas.
