: Why countries with massive inflation where 100,000 is just a few or under a us dollar just decide to cut some zeros out to make it less to carry
In: 0
It’s a lot of work to do that. You have to create a new currency (new banknotes), print a ton of them (enough to completely replace the old ones) coordinate the transition from old currency to new currency (set banks to allow exchanges between the two currencies at government rates), and dispose of the old currency.
All of this expense will just get rid of a few zeroes; it’s not like investing in education or infrastructure to actually develop the economy or in healthcare or social services to make people’s lives better.
