This is Bolivian Pesos 1984. The country was in big economical trouble.
The governments solution was simple… Print more money.. brilliant, the ministers tought.
The only problem is that the prices increased as quick as the printer press

50 dollar she had to bring the backpack because the peso equivalent was a lot to carry!
(No point clicking on the photo to se full size.. the picture just look more awful the bigger it gets!)
