It loses purchasing power.
When there is more money but it has little value, it is referred to as "hyperinflation." This economic condition occurs when prices rise rapidly as a currency loses its purchasing power, often due to excessive money supply. Hyperinflation can lead to a loss of confidence in the currency, causing people to seek alternative forms of money or barter systems.

Inflation compounds over time by causing prices to rise, which reduces the purchasing power of a currency. This means that the same amount of money can buy fewer goods and services as time goes on, leading to a decrease in the overall value of the currency.

The purchasing power of money refers to the amount of goods and services that can be bought with a unit of currency. It is influenced by factors such as inflation, deflation, and changes in the economy. When prices rise due to inflation, the purchasing power of money decreases, meaning you can buy less with the same amount of money. Conversely, if prices fall, purchasing power increases, allowing you to buy more.
The rapid out-of-control rise in prices is known as hyperinflation, characterized by extremely high and typically accelerating inflation rates, often exceeding 50% per month. Unlike general and gradual inflation, which reflects a steady increase in prices due to normal economic factors, hyperinflation leads to a loss of confidence in the currency, resulting in consumers and businesses rapidly adjusting prices to keep up with the devaluing currency. This phenomenon can disrupt economies, erode savings, and diminish purchasing power drastically.
