That's not what hyperinflation means.
Hyperinflation is not the same thing as inflation, it's not just a monetary phenomenon. It happens when a population rejects a currency. It has historically always involved at least one of: losing a war, regime change or foreign-denominated debt - some kind of exogenous event. [1]
Hyperinflation is the collapse of an economic system in which one of the symptoms is dramatic decrease in purchasing power.
