Hyperinflation is inflation at an extremely high rate, and it is singled out as a separate one since it leads to the collapse of commodity-money circulation and the country’s financial system due to the loss of confidence in money. Money loses its natural role in the economy as a measure of value, means of circulation, and means of accumulation. The period of hyperinflation denotes a crisis in the state. Hyperinflation may be accompanied by default on state debts, massive bankruptcies, the maximum increase in barter, and refusal to use money, impoverishment of the population due to the inability to make savings. Discussion During hyperinflation, such as during the Civil War in Germany in the early 1920s, money circulation often gives way to natural exchange. Equivalents are liquid goods whose intrinsic value does not depend on state policy (Obstfeld & Rogoff, 2017). For example, it is a freely convertible currency, noble metals, some goods, such as cigarettes or sugar (Debaere, 2018). The consequence may be the dollarization of the economy, when the foreign currency is widely used for operations within the country or individual industries, up to the complete crowding out of the national currency. One way to preserve savings during times of hyperinflation may be to buy building materials for the slow construction of any buildings (Hung & Thompson, 2016). Such a long-term development allows people to invest cash surpluses in goods, such as brick and cement, without the need for their subsequent sale because they can always be used for construction as they accumulate (Kavila & Roux, 2017). However, usually, people are forced to spend their money on the purchase of something, not paying attention to the real need, which increases demand. At this stage, the economy is almost destroyed, the market is paralyzed, and society is on the verge of collapse. There are several examples of record hyperinflation, such as Germany, Greece, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Zimbabwe. In 1923, inflation in Germany was 3.25 × 106 percent or 3.25 million percent per month, and thus, prices doubled every 49 hours (Cukierman, 2017). In Greece, during the German occupation in 1941–44, inflation was about 8.55 × 109 percent, or 8.55 billion percent per month — that is, prices doubled every 28 hours (Alvarez, Beraja, Gonzales-Rozada, & Neumeyer, 2018). In Hungary, after the end of World War II in 1945-46, inflation was about 4.19 × 1016 percent or 42 million billion per month, that is, prices doubled every 15 hours (Cukierman, 2017). The culprits of hyperinflation are considered to be governments that are trying to cover government spending by issuing or issuing new unsecured money, thereby undermining the public’s confidence in their currency. In Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, between October 1993 and January 24, 1994, inflation was approximately 5 × 1015 percent or five quadrillion, or million billion per month, that is, prices doubled every 16 hours (Vlandas, 2018). In Zimbabwe, in the 2000s, after the expropriation of white farmers’ lands in October 2008, inflation was 231 million percent per year (Debaere, 2018). According to unofficial data, inflation amounted to about 6.5 × 10108 percent, and prices doubled in about 1.5 hours (Debaere
