Good stuff !
The exchange rate went for something like 3 German marks to 1 US dollar to over 7000 marks per US dollar in 1922. Basically a loaf of bread my cost you several thousand marks or their dollars.
All this with leading up into a joke that I heard. A man was pushing a wheelbarrow down the street with about half a million marks to buy a loaf of bread. He tripped and fell into the street and the money dumped out. A huge crowd gathering around him, there was a huge struggle and when the crowd left, the man and all of the cash was still in the street but the wheelbarrow was gone.
I think you may be correct.
