When money becomes worthless, the event is called hyperinflation. This occurs when a country experiences extremely rapid and out-of-control inflation, leading to a significant decline in the currency's value. As prices soar, the purchasing power of money diminishes, often resulting in the abandonment of the currency in favor of barter or foreign currencies. Hyperinflation can destabilize economies and create severe social and political challenges.

If you lost money on a financial institution stock can you claim it as a loss?

Yes, if you sold the stock for less than your basis or if there was an event that caused your stock to become worthless during the year. Note that this does not apply if the stock was in a tax-sheltered account such as an IRA or a 401k. If a bank went out of business causing the stock to become worthless, you can claim it as a loss. If the value of the stock went from $200 a share to $.02 a share, it is not yet worthless -- no deduction until you sell it.
