      The Weimar Republic has entered the chat.

      Who knows how long that man had to work to earn that much paper? Twelve minutes? Thirteeeeen minutes?

      Anyway, until inflation hits at least 4,130,772,540,007,917,373,294% Americans should really stop griping about it.

        Because of the period of hyperinflation, one day I had a boss unwittingly hand me $500. She bent down and said, “Ooh! Someone dropped a quarter! Wait this ain’t a quarter, what the heck is this?” She then handed me a 1934 500 Deutchmark coin. I told her what it was, and asked her if she wanted it. She said she wouldn’t know what to do with it, so after I sold it, I gave her $75 as a 15% finders fee.
