The price increases began to be dizzying. Menus in cafes could not be revised quickly enough. A student at Freiburg University ordered a cup of coffee at a cafe. The price on the menu was 5,000 Marks. He had two cups. When the bill came, it was for 14,000 Marks. "If you want to save money," he was told, "and you want two cups of coffee, you should order them both at the same time."

A factory worker described payday, which was every day at 11:00 a.m.: "At 11:00 in the morning a siren sounded, and everybody gathered in the factory forecourt, where a five-ton lorry was drawn up loaded brimful with paper money. The chief cashier and his assistants climbed up on top. They read out names and just threw out bundles of notes. As soon as you had caught one you made a dash for the nearest shop and bought just anything that was going." Teachers, paid at 10:00 a.m., brought their money to the playground, where relatives took the bundles and hurried off with them.

One afternoon I rang my Aunt Louise’s door.  She is a pensioner.  The door was opened a mere crack.  From the dark came an odd broken voice: “I’ve used 60 billion marks worth of gas.  My milk bill is 1 million.  But all I have left is 2000 marks.  I don’t understand anymore.” ’E Dobrt  writing about the effects of inflation

As soon as I got my dad’s pay I went shopping.  I had just enough for a loaf of bread and a small piece of cheese.  A friend of mine went to buy his baby a pair of shoes.  He took a month’s pay.  By the time he reached Berlin all he could afford was a cup of coffee.’A German woman writing about the effects of inflation

Daily Express (24th February, 1923) A Berlin couple who were about to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary received an official letter advising them that the mayor, in accordance with Prussian custom, would call and present them with a donation of money. Next morning the mayor, accompanied by several officials in robes, arrived at the old couple's house, and carefully gave them 1,000,000,000,000 marks which was worth one halfpenny in British money.
