Reminds me of when Zimbabwe made inflation illegal.

In that case, instead of raising prices, they could have switched to a different service or good.
E.g. imagine you're selling regular potatoes for $1 / kg. Next month you want to sell them for $10 / kg, but you're not allowed to raise the price, so cast a spell on them and sell enchanted potatoes for $10 / kg. A new, completely different product, so it wasn't a price rise.
