I paid way too much for 18 eggs

Dang, I paid way too much for 18 eggs the other day. We’re getting killed out here with this inflation. Still, it’s not like Hungary in 1946. They had the worst hyperinflation in world history. At one point prices doubled in 15 hours. Cash was almost worthless the moment it was printed. Their form of money was the pengő. This is the 100 million trillion pengő banknote, or you could say the 100 quintillion pengő. They stopped putting numerals on the money because the couldn’t fit all the zeros.
