Hyperinflation is a scenario where the prices for goods and services rise rapidly and uncontrollably. There have been several episodes of hyperinflation throughout history, such as that which afflicted Weimar Germany in the 1920s, when the daily inflation rate was estimated to be 20.9 percent. The most severe case of hyperinflation, however, was estimated to be in Hungary in 1946, when the daily inflation rate was approximately 207 percent.
