The Weimar situation was an extreme exception

It happened because Germany lost the World War I and was forced to pay huge indemnities. To make matter worse, the French occupied Germany's industrial heart, the Ruhr Region. Germans carried out passive resistance and stopped producing anything for the French, while the Government agreed to pay all the workers in the Ruhr Region. The consequence was a huge supply of paper money and an acute shortage of goods. From that point on, inflation took off.

The Russian hyper inflation after 1991 was also pretty bad. As late as 1997, Russians were happy to keep inflation rate under 7% a month.
