True Hungary

Hungary had a bill with a denomination so large it was stated in words.

Infact verdict: True (91/100).

The claim that Hungary had a bill with a denomination so large it was stated in words is supported by historical evidence. During the hyperinflation period in Hungary in 1946, the 100 million B.-pengő note was issued, which equaled 100 quintillion pengő. Even higher denominations were printed but not circulated, such as the 1 'milliárd' B.-pengő, worth one sextillion pengő. This information is corroborated by reliable sources like Wikipedia and Planet Banknote, confirming the claim's accuracy.
