Fabiola Zerpa and Andrew Rosati showed us what Venezuelan hyper-inflation looks like:

• Inflation in Venezuela is running somewhere between 200% to 1,500% a year.
• For vendors still willing to accept Venezuelan currency, it’s not worth taking the time to count it. Instead many will just weight it to approximate its value.
• The government has been stubborn about releasing notes worth more than 100 bolivars.
• Today that’s worth just US$0.10. But the government has promised to print bills as big as 20,000 bolivars – in time for Christmas bonuses.
• Until then Venezuelans will lug around massive piles of cash. ATMs used to be restocked every few days, but now have to be restocked several times a day.
