They are normally preceded by war, revolution, famine, or pandemics. In some cases, they are the results of decades of fiscal malpractice. Inflation has become a prominent subject of discussion in the United States and across the world.There have been dozens of recorded hyperinflations in modern history.

  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Legend of Zelda series was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, who were inspired by the hills, forests, and caves of Miyamoto’s childhood home in Japan, as well as fantasy books like The Lord of the Rings. Miyamoto wanted to create a "miniature garden" for players to explore in each game, while Tezuka aimed for a fairytale adventure. 
    
  The series centers on the battle to save Hyrule from Ganon, with the main characters being Link, a courageous Hylian, and Princess Zelda, who is a descendant of the goddess Hylia. Link and Zelda have varied personalities and backstories throughout the games, but often have common traits. 
    
  The Triforce is a sacred relic left behind by three goddesses, representing Power, Courage, and Wisdom and will grant a wish indiscriminately. If someone with an unbalanced heart attempts to touch the Triforce, it will split into three triangles and bond with three people that represent the corresponding virtue.
