Hungary's currency before WWII, the Pengo, suffered the highest rate of
hyperinflation ever recorded. In 1946, Hungary issued the 100 Million
Billion Pengo. That's right: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 Pengos. It was
worth only about 20 cents US! The prices were doubling every fifteen
hours in the last period, so on July, 1946, the country replaced its
currency by the forint, which is the still the official today. The
Hungarian Bank actually printed notes of one milliard b.-pengo (one
sextillion pengo) but never issued them.
Si ca sa nu fie doar trivia tot postul - exista doua scari de masurare; una logica si una americana :
Long scale is the English translation of the French term échelle longue. It refers to a system of large-number names in which every new term greater than million is a million times the previous term. Thus, billion means a million millions (1012), trillion means a million billions (1018), and so on.[1][2]
Short scale is the English translation of the French term échelle courte. It refers to a system of large-number names in which every new term greater than million is 1,000 times the previous term. Thus, billion means a thousand millions (109), trillion means a thousand billions (1012), and so on.
Asadar... una merge pe logica, unde milionul este o masura, cealalta unde mia este o masura (bilingv, si ramaneti cu mine daca tot ati ajuns aici; pentru ca tot am taiat ce scrisesem mai jos o sa mentionez ca Romania foloseste sistemul lung:)

Am vazut in filme cand eram mai verde diferenta intre ceea ce vor americanii sa spuna si ce stiam eu ca folosesc, desi recunosc ca pana recent nu stiam ca limba engleza are conceptul de miliard.
E ok si sistemul "nou", cel scurt cu puteri de o mie in sensul in care numarul 1 este o 1,0000,apoi urmeaza mia (1,0001), milionul (puterea 2), bilionul (puterea 3), trilionul (puterea 4), catralionul (puterea 5). Practic reiterez partea stanga a tabelului de mai sus. DAR daca am reformulat asa (adica in loc sa-i spun bilionului 1,000×1,0003 ca in tabel i-am spus 1,0004) apare o discordanta. Pentru bilion avem puterea 3, trilion avem puterea 4, catralion avem puterea 5 si urechile sunt proper zgariate.
Pe cand dincolo e mai simplu.
Milionul de baza, apoi
milion de milioane = bilion,
milion de (bilioane) = milion de (milion de milioane) = trilion
milion de (trilioane) = milion de (milion de (milion de milioane)) = catralion
Intre ele sunt -ardele.
MIE de milioane = miliARD,
MIE de bilioane = biliARD,
MIE de trilioane = triliARD,
MIE de catraliarde = catraliARD
Si eu care credeam in copilarie ca miliard de catralioane nu exista...
