it will be a pleasure to watch and well worth ?300 a year on me taxes.

Which in two and a half years time, will be the equivalent of about ?1.45p
in today's money.

Silly little boy.

Only Germany of any European nation has achieved that scale of inflation.

Hint: If you're trying to impress people by citing lists of the facts
at your fingertips, it helps if the first fact you happen to cite isn't
as load of old cobblers.

As far from being the only example in Europe, the German hyperinflation
wasn't even the worst.

quote

The pengo was the currency of Hungary between 1 January 1927, when
it replaced 'the korona, and 31 July 1946, when it was replaced by
the forint.
The pengo lost value after World War II, suffering the highest rate
of hyperinflation ever recorded. There were several attempts to break
down inflation, such as a 75% capital levy in December 1945. However,
this did not stop the hyperinflation, and prices continued spiraling
out of control, with ever-higher denominations introduced.
The denominations milpengo (1,000,000 pengo), b.-pengo (pronunciation:
bilpengo,1,000,000,000 pengo) and one trillion pengo (1,000,000,000,000
pengo) were used to alleviate calculations, cut down the number of zeros
and enable the reuse of banknote designs with only the colour and
denomination name changed.

Oh dear !

It looks as though "Every Boy's Book of Knowledge" has landed you
in the soup again !


snipped list of irrelevent facts

I mean there is naive, michael, and there is criminally stupid.

Whether it counts as naive or criminally stupid to not spend 5 seconds
on checking one's facts before posting, especially the FIRST fact
in your list, I'll leave it for you to decide. Oh Wise One.
