Imagine your piggy bank is a treasure chest, and the government just dropped a million gold coins into it. That's like what happens during sudden inflation, money supply goes up really fast, so everything suddenly costs more. It’s like magic money, but not quite as fun.
Examples
- A country prints extra money for a holiday, but now everything in the store is twice as expensive.
- Your family’s favorite pizza shop doubles prices because everyone got a special discount at once.
