[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4247981, member: 45785"] When I was a kid, my dad had stacks of 50,000 Reich Mark notes from the Weimar Republic. He said a lot of people had been burning the German money by the wheelbarrow because it was cheaper than wood or coal. I lived in Turkey in the early '80's, where they also had hyperinflation. One Turkish Lira, once upon a time, was nearly an ounce of fine Silver. When I was there, a 5TL coin was aluminum. And about the size of our nickel. And the exchange rate was 186TL per US dollar. A skilled carpenter there made about 350TL a day. Not too long before I left, in 1985, the President of the Republic of Turkey got a pay raise. To the equivalent of $1500/month. As a TSgt, I was making $1900 a month. And the Senior Pilot commander of the base was making about $300 a month, and considered wealthy. [/QUOTE]
