I suspect that credit cards will be used more and more if the US heads into hyperinflation. Counting lots of paper money looks too painful. If there was very much of this I think a supermarket would put a bill counter on one "cash line" and make anyone using lots of paper money go into that slow line.
Hyperinflation is that transition period when a paper money is clearly failing as a store of value but has not yet died as a medium of exchange. This blog is to look at this and any other interesting economic issues. Vincent Cate

Modern video of Hyperinflation
In 2011 Belarus got hyperinflation. In this
video someone uses a bag of cash to buy some beer. This youtube video
of piles of cash from just over a year ago makes hyperinflation more
real than a black and white picture of a wheelbarrow full of cash from
90 years ago.
