Inflation

Hyperinflation is a rapid rise in the general price level. When inflation occurs, sometimes people anticipate further inflation. They then spend all their savings "now" to beat the anticipated price increases; after all, money in the bank during inflationary periods only can depreciate in value. Businesses buy more capital goods. Workers get paid higher and higher wages. These actions will further intensify the pressure on prices. Inflation drives inflation further; it eventually may cause economic collapse.

The percentage rise in price levels.

Inflation that is out of control is referred to as hyperinflation. This phenomenon occurs when prices increase rapidly and uncontrollably, often exceeding 50% per month, leading to a significant erosion of purchasing power. Hyperinflation can destabilize economies and erode confidence in a currency, prompting people to seek alternative means of exchange. Historical examples include Zimbabwe in the late 2000s and Germany during the Weimar Republic in the 1920s.

All Walking Liberty Half dollars from 1940 to 1945 regardless of mintmarks, in average circulated condition (below EF-40 Grade) have the same retail values of $8.00-$9.00. These years are high mintage widely circulated coins, so most show heavy wear. The coins are very common

After the revolutionary war, most states had a hard time paying off war debts and struggled to collect overdue taxes. to ease this hardship, some states began printing large amounts of paper money. The result was inflation!

5 cents. Actually most people made their bread in 1914. White bread as we know it didn't yet exist. So, the cost of roughly 5 cents would be for a loaf of bread from a bakery. But consider ...

In 1914 the average work week was 49 hours and the average weekly earnings were $10.92; the average wage per hour was 22 cents. So you could buy 4 loafs of bread for an hours work. If a loaf of bread from the bakery costs $3.00 now then a wage of $12 an hour would be compatible (allowing one to buy four loafs of bread for an hours work).

Generally, low inflation is better for society because inflation has costs associated with the reallocation of assets and their value (that is, it costs money for people to change their decisions when inflation changes the value of their goods/services).

The British gold One Guinea coin was last minted in 1813. It was effectively replaced by the gold Sovereign coin in 1817. The Guinea had a face value of 21 Shillings or, One Pound and One Shilling (in predecimal currency).

Although the coin no longer exists, the value remains in use, and is often used to value antiques and racehorses amongst other things, but is not used in day to day commerce.

One Guinea GBP in 1877 had the purchasing power of about £65.86 GBP today.

One Guinea GBP in 1877 had the purchasing power of about €74.62 EUR today.

Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1899 Barber half is a common date coin. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show heavy wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $13.00-$37.00, better grade are $100.00-$180.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $310.00-$450.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer

As deflation is a decrease in the price level, there is also a proportional increase in the purchasing power of a dollar. Those who have saved money will be able to buy more than previously, and banks will earn more (real) interest on loans made. Those who borrow money, however, will be be paying a higher (real) rate of interest (even with a fixed rate loan).

it can be, but if your careful, you'll be fine. if this is your first time inflating, you'll probably not get very big, but then fart the air out and do it again later your skin will get some elasticity and if you work up to it you can get really big!

In the early 1920s Germany experienced one of the most severe inflations of all time.1 The inflation was not apparent in 1920, but began showing up in 1921. Thereafter it got steadily worse until it came to an abrupt halt at the end of 1923. At its worst in the second half of 1923, prices rose more than fivefold each week. Some idea of the magnitude of this catastrophe can be seen in table below. During 1920 and early in 1921 the signs of inflation were mixed. The price of food was increasing, but the price of dollars in terms of marks (the mark was the name of the German currency) was dropping, and so were the prices of products bought from the United States. However, the signs of inflation were unmistakable in the next year, from mid 1921 to mid 1922. In this period prices increased about sixfold--that is, it took six marks at the end of the period to buy what one mark would have bought at the beginning. But this rapid inflation, greater than any yearly inflation in the history of the United States, was only a prelude for what was to happen.
