Hyperinflation is an extreme and rapid increase in prices, often exceeding 50% per month, leading to a collapse in the value of currency. It typically occurs when there is a significant increase in the money supply not supported by economic growth, often due to government policies or war reparations. This drastic devaluation causes severe economic instability, resulting in a loss of public confidence in the currency and creating challenges for everyday transactions.
