Y’know… Given that the one constant you can find in any history of any given currency is that the value in purchasing power is constantly dropping from what it is initially pegged at…? I’m not really sure that there’s any significant information to be had in that value drop. It seems to be in the nature of things…

I’d say that the measure of inflation you were using understates the actual damage.
