Is it true that during Hungary's 1945-46 hyperinflation, prices doubled roughly every 15 hours, the worst hyperinflation ever recorded?

Yes. A reference article on hyperinflation states that post-World War II Hungary held the record for the most extreme monthly inflation rate ever and that prices doubled every 15.3 hours, matching the claim's figures and superlative.
