Hungarian Pengo

THE PENGO WAS HUNGARY'S CURRENCY BETWEEN 1 JANUARY 1927 TO 31 JULY 1946. THE PENGO'S BRIEF 20 YEAR EXISTENCE DEMONSTRATED THE MOST SEVERE HYPERINFLATION EVER DOCUMENTED IN HUMAN HISTORY. AT ONE POINT, THE HYPERINFLATION WAS SO OUT OF CONTROL THAT PRICES DOUBLED IN ROUGHLY 15 HOURS AND THE PENGO LOST 90% OF ITS INITIAL WORTH IN ABOUT 4 DAYS. THE FINAL BANKNOTE CREATED WAS EQUAL TO 200 OCTILLION PENGOS.
