INFLATION CURRENCY

Henry Bergos writes: "When I rented a store in Israel during
our hyperinflationary period, just over 500%/year, in 1984
I had to wrote a check for over 1 1/2 million Shkolim. I
quipped to my banker as I did it that I was getting writers
cramp from this large number. He almost fell off his chair
laughing. It took two lines to write it."
