27 years guys. 27 years! Who is next on the menu? (Years active: Euro 25 years, Fiat Dollars: 54 years)

Throughout history, virtually every fiat currency standard has faced challenges, and ALL have ultimately failed due to factors such as hyperinflation, economic mismanagement, or loss of public confidence. On average, fiat currencies tend to have a lifespan of about 27 years, although this can vary significantly based on economic conditions and governance. Here are some notable examples:
1. Weimar Republic (Germany, 1921-1923): After World War I, Germany faced massive reparations payments, leading to hyperinflation. The government printed excessive amounts of money, causing the value of the German mark to plummet. By late 1923, prices skyrocketed, and the currency became virtually worthless.
2. Zimbabwe Dollar (2000s): Zimbabwe experienced one of the worst cases of hyperinflation in history, peaking in November 2008. The government printed money to fund its budget deficit, leading to a collapse of the currency. In 2009, Zimbabwe abandoned its dollar and began using foreign currencies.
3. Hungarian Pengő (1946): After World War II, Hungary faced extreme inflation, with the pengő losing value rapidly. In July 1946, the government introduced a new currency, the forint, to replace the pengő, which had become nearly worthless due to hyperinflation.
4. Yugoslav Dinar (1990s): During the breakup of Yugoslavia, the dinar experienced hyperinflation, particularly in 1993, when prices doubled every few days. The government printed large amounts of money to finance military and social programs, leading to the currency's collapse.
5. Soviet Ruble (1990s): Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the ruble faced severe inflation and devaluation. The transition to a market economy was poorly managed, leading to a loss of confidence in the currency. In 1998, the Russian government defaulted on its debt, and the ruble was significantly devalued.
6. Assignat (1790s, France): During the French Revolution, the revolutionary government issued assignats as a form of paper currency, initially backed by confiscated church lands. However, the government printed excessive amounts of assignats to finance its activities, leading to hyperinflation. By 1796, the assignat had lost most of its value, and the currency system collapsed, contributing to economic turmoil and social unrest.
