Captain Obvious Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Well, there's the infamous postwar Hungarian Pengo hyperinflation .. [ATTACH=CONFIG]42423[/ATTACH] I think that's a hundred million billion pengo note, but I don't know if if the billion is a British billion or a US billion. The US billion is a thousand million; the British billion is a million million so it's bigger by a factor of a thousand. At some point you go for logarithmic money, where the number on the bill is the number of zeros in the number it's supposed be worth. So if you were to buy something worth 10,000,000 currency units, you would hand the seller an "8" note and you'd get your item plus nine "7" notes in change. "Can I get that in singles, please?" *backs up a semi* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjalund Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures although I think the british are being bullied into using the american billion: US billion = 1,000,000,000 UK billion = 1,000,000,000,000 US trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 UK trillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
