That is a great point. I consulted grok and was given this: Brazil, 1990: Savings frozen to fight hyperinflation. β€’ Argentina, 2001–2002: Freeze and forced peso conversion after peg collapse. β€’ Mexico, 1982: Dollar deposits converted amid peso crisis. β€’ Bolivia, 1982: Forced conversion during currency collapse. β€’ Peru, 1985: Dollar deposits converted in hyperinflation crisis. β€’ Japan, 1946: Deposits frozen after wartime inflation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Argentinians still talk of the coralito. And you mention Cyprus but afterwards, they went for the entirety of Greece. One great regret from post 2008 was not taking a screenshot of 1yr bond yield for greece when they got used to bail out Deutsche bank. It's been scrubbed so good luck hunting for it but there is one thing you can still find. Look at the change in debt that Greece had over 2 years. Ask yourself how the speed was achieved. 1yr bonds at up to slightly over 100% interest forced on them by eu. Happy for anyone not to believ me on seeing it but you can just look at their debt burden and get a calculator
