Hyperinflation is nothing new to me...

Brazil went through some serious inflation in the 80s and early 90s. We just learn to adapt to the system, bartering becomes second nature. Farm equipment was purchased with bags of soybeans, food purchased in quantities when we would sell some of our crops, negotiate a new car when the crop gets harvested...well you get the point. Some people can adapt, especially people living out of the cities and those that have low day to day costs. As for everyone else, well life gets a little harder. But you do get huge raises.

As for buying metals...some is good, but I'll stick to farming, at least I'll still have some food.
