Hyperinflation is an extreme and rapid increase in prices, causing a currency’s purchasing power to collapse. It typically arises when governments print excessive money to cover expenses, often in the context of political or economic instability. As the money supply surges uncontrollably, the currency loses value, leading to skyrocketing prices.

Zimbabwe faced one of the worst hyperinflation crises in history during the late 2000s. By November 2008, inflation peaked at an estimated 79.6 billion percent per month, with prices doubling every few hours.

In response, the government issued increasingly higher denominations, including the iconic 10 billion Zimbabwean dollar bill, which, at its lowest value, was worth just 0.004 U.S. cents—essentially worthless for transactions.

Hyperinflation devastates economies, wiping out savings, disrupting trade, and forcing reliance on foreign currencies or barter systems. Zimbabwe eventually abandoned its currency, adopting the U.S. dollar to stabilize its economy. The former currency is now worth more as a collectible novelty.
