They did start with smaller numbers. Google “runaway inflation” or “chronic inflation” and you’ll see how things ended up where they are today. But essentially, if you start with a 100 dong note and 50% annual inflation, in just 10 years you need nearly 6,000 dong to purchase what 100 dong used to buy. At 75% inflation, you need 27,000 dong and at 100% inflation, you need 102,000 dong. The amounts at 20 years are 333K, 7.26MM and 105MM respectively.
