Kenapa nol di rupiah banyak sekali? Sejarah redenominasi

Why does the rupiah have so many zeros?

Tahun 1949 satu dolar AS kurang dari 4 rupiah. Hiperinflasi 1960-an dan krisis 1998 meninggalkan nol-nol yang masih ada sampai sekarang.

Sampul short: Why does the rupiah have so many zeros?

Short-nya segera tayang di YouTube @geegit

Penjelasannya

Tarik 70 dolar dari ATM di Jakarta, dan kamu langsung jadi "jutawan" dengan sejuta rupiah di tangan. Kenapa rupiah punya begitu banyak nol? Dulu tidak begini: pada 1949, satu dolar AS bernilai kurang dari empat rupiah.

Lalu sejarah memukul dua kali. Pertama, pertengahan 1960-an: pencetakan uang negara yang tak terkendali memicu hiperinflasi lebih dari 650 persen. Kedua, krisis finansial Asia 1998: rupiah anjlok dari sekitar 2.500 per dolar menjadi hampir 17.000.

Harga dan upah menyesuaikan diri secara permanen dengan angka yang membengkak, sehingga nol-nol tambahan itu membeku di tempatnya. Setiap kali membayar Rp50.000 untuk secangkir kopi, kamu sedang melihat bekas luka badai ekonomi masa lalu.

Withdraw seventy dollars from an ATM in Jakarta, and you instantly become a millionaire holding a million rupiah.

Why does the Indonesian rupiah have so many zeroes? It wasn't always this way.

In 1949, one US dollar bought less than four rupiah. But then history struck twice.

First, the mid-1960s: runaway state printing triggered hyperinflation of over six hundred fifty percent.

Second, the 1998 Asian financial crisis: the rupiah crashed from twenty-five hundred per dollar to nearly seventeen thousand.

Prices and wages permanently adjusted to the inflated numbers, leaving those extra zeroes frozen in place.

Every time you pay fifty thousand for a cup of coffee, you're looking at the scar tissue of past economic storms.
