    I can only think of one: massive inflation à la 2008 Zimbabwe. They printed a 100 trillion dollar bill by the end of that one, so nearly everyone was a trillionaire.

    Now they’re in an entirely new hyperinflation crisis, but it’s nowhere near the 89.7 sextillion percent year-on-year inflation rate they saw at the first’s peak.

    Edit: fucking hell, they’re releasing yet another currency: the Zimbabwean ZiG. IYKYK

        You’re absolutely right. It would have to be intentional, planned inflation, where the populace decided to scale down the value of all existing currency while providing everyone enough additional currency to exactly maintain their original financial worth.

        So only viable in micronations where the populace of five got really high one night and had a profound idea they thought would be totally fucking hilarious.
