This is like the hyperinflation in Germany in the early 1920s - in November 1923 one US$ was 4.2 trillion mark (two years before it was 90 mark/$). My grandfather was a bricklayer and was paid in bricks and windows and cement. That's how he managed to go on building a house for his family but every free inch of the garden was planted with vegetables and they had an additional allotment for potatoes.
