Re: The Deutsche Mark and Hyperinflation (none / 1)
A personal reminder in the aftermath of military overspending on the Vietnam War ...

Traveled to West-Germany for my honeymoon in August 1973. Always careful with cash, so went to American Express here in The Hague and bought travelers cheques in US dollars ... as I arrived on my destination, in first weekend the Nixon decision shaved 15% off my dollar value. 😄

Lesson learned! 😉

Devaluation US dollar
