Very high inflation, out of control, in which prices increase rapidly at the same time as the currency loses its value; the increase in the amount of money in circulation only depreciates that currency constantly, causing its value to decrease rapidly. In these conditions, those who have or earn liquid money try to get rid of it to buy real goods or other currencies, thus worsening the situation.
