Hungarian One Hundred Million Pengos



Hungarian one hundred million (100,000,000) Pengo hyperinflation note.

Initially a supporter of the Axis powers, Hungary went to war with Russia - with disastrous results. Believing that the Axis would lose, Hungarian leaders then tried to reach an agreement with the Allied powers. Unfortunately, the scheme was uncovered by Hitler and Hungary became a Nazi-occupied territory in 1944.

Later, when the Nazis retreated, they stole Hungary's gold reserves, compelling the war-torn nation to run the printing presses. Alternatively, it is also possible that the hyperinflation was deliberately started by Russian Marxists to sabotage the economy.

Either way, by 1945 Pengo denominations had exceeded one million and July 1946 became the most severe period of hyperinflation in History, with prices doubling every 15 hours.

These banknotes are 63 years old!

German Fifty Million Marks



German fifty million (50,000,000) Mark hyperinflation note.

Due to excessive money printing by the Weimar Republic to finance war reparations and government spending, a period of hyperinflation occurred in 1923 Germany. Loose monetary policy and loss of public confidence in the currency led to the flooding of Marks on the market, resulting in a vicious cycle of escalating prices.
