"When the pengő was replaced in August 1946 by the forint, the total value of all Hungarian banknotes in circulation amounted to 1/1,000 of one US dollar"

All notes, in the whole country, were worth 1/10th of a cent.

Which of course means it is not literally true, beause the paper those notes are written on is worth a lot more.
