To keep real tax revenues more stable, it created a good called a "tax peng艒," in which all bank deposits were denominated for purposes of taxation. Nevertheless, payments for goods and services were made only in terms of the regular Hungarian currency, whose value tended to fall rapidly even though the value of a tax peng枚 remained stable. Prices were also quoted only in terms of the regular currency. Lenders, however, began denominating loan payments in terms of tax peng枚s. In what ways did the tax peng枚 function as money in Hungary in 1945 and 1946?
