now while we are harping on about inflation ( and still being indoctrinated ready for CBDCs )

another option is a currency change

when i was much younger i was a paper-boy ( 1964 to 1969 ) Australian switched currencies , from pounds , shillings and pence , with the theoretic minimum coin of a farthing ( one quarter of a penny ) but practically a half-penny to decimal currency , ( dollars and cents ) with the minimum coin of one cent

so in early 1966 ( January ) your Courier Mail cost 5 pence one month later it became 5 cents ( 6 pence ) ( 20% price rise ) add in the cute rounding to accommodate 12 pennies turning into 10 cents , and you have an interesting 'price creep '

and yet nobody talks about the inflation in Australia in 1966

would our government try such a fun tactic again
