Mexico did a 1000-1 reverse split in the 90s. You still see the old bills sometimes. You just treat a 20,000 pesos bill as a 20.

That was during a pretty inflationary time - and even after the Nuevo Peso stabilized people still preferred dollars.

Wow it’s down to 20 nuevos per dollar, I remember when it was 3.

Russia did as well, in the early 90s.
