You're saying that the less Germans learned from hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic is to hold lots of fiat money? Sounds backwards.

What they learned is that solving problems with debt is bad. So they try to not have debt by saving a lot. The fact they do it with the same fiat currency system is another matter. But that history lesson is one the OP seems to be ignorant of.

Currency reform in 1948 also produced winners and losers. Worth a read.
