The Inflationary Decade, Why hyperinflation happened? When war started you were no longer to redeem marks for gold No legal limit to how many notes could be produced Amount of $ increased 4-fold by the end of the war Gov. was not printing money fast enough for rising prices “victory” (never happened)-After defeat in 1918 gov. was not able to pay debts.

Hyperinflation 1923 paper mark lost function as medium of payment. Started buying fixed goods such as art, diamonds, and real estate. Jan 1923 whole sale price index was 2,783 times higher than its 1913 level In comparison to 1913 level of CPI, by Dec 1923 it was 1,261 thousand million times higher 1923 money (reichsmark) is worth nothing

Money Over Time

Mark Very detailed and colorful pictures Pictures of people and objects show sign of times

Billion Mark Very dull and plain bills Show signs of mass production Easy to counterfeit (who would want to anyway?)
