currency crash
Sudden monetary plunge
A currency crash is a rapid, severe decline in a currency's value relative to other currencies.
Unlike gradual depreciation, a crash happens suddenly—often over days or weeks—and can devastate an economy: The currency crash wiped out people's savings overnight.
Crashes typically trigger capital flight, inflation spikes, and emergency government intervention.
