So basically: Pakistani Rupee lost 86% of its value against USD in 77 years. The worst hit? 2018-2023 when it tanked from 139 to 286 PKR—that's a 2x collapse in just 5 years.

What happened: Inflation spiraled, forex reserves dried up, debt crisis, political chaos. The currency didn't devalue gradually—it free-falled.

2024 update: Slight recovery to 277 PKR, but the damage is done. Ordinary Pakistanis? Their savings got nuked.
