Hyperinflation occurs whenever a country's currency is created at too high of a rate.

In fact, dating back to its origin in the 1980s, the Zimbabwe dollar held more value than the U. The early years of Zimbabwe's economy saw great growth and development.

Various industries and crops were thriving, and, thus, Zimbabwe's economy had begun to thrive as well. However, the tables began to turn under the reign of President Robert Mugabe. In the early 1990s, Mugabe, with the help of the World Bank, decided to create an Economic Structural Adjustment Program. This ESAP would begin the gradual fall of Zimbabwe's currency.
