In 1946, Hungary was suffering. 80% of Budapest lay in ruins; 40% of the nation's wealth had been obliterated in the war. The government was shattered, unable to collect taxes and saddled with heavy war reparations. To make matters worse, the occupying Soviets were circulating unbacked currency, flooding the market with worthless paper money. It was the perfect economic storm for runaway inflation, and the result was the worst period of hyperinflation in recorded history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese notes were worth ten million milpengő in 1946. One milpengő, however, was worth one million pengő -- meaning these notes are actually worth ten million million or ten \u003ci\u003etrillion\u003c\/i\u003e pengő. The pengő had been so critically devalued that it led to complete currency reform, leading to the introduction of the modern Hungarian forint.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53401838354721,"sku":"Sept.Week1.P2-KB2590","price":14.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/KB2590.jpg?v=1787933762","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/sw1-kb2590","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
