redenomination

Monetary unit conversion

Redenomination is the process of changing a currency's face value, typically by removing zeros during periods of extreme inflation.

A country might redenominate so that 1,000 old units become 1 new unit: After redenomination, prices that were in the millions became manageable numbers.

The practice aims to simplify transactions and restore confidence in a devalued currency.
