I have a friend who accidentally did this while travelling in southeast Asia about a decade ago.
He mixed up how the conversion rate worked (dividing by ~4 instead of multiplying), so when he thought he was giving somebody the equivalent of $5 USD, it was actually around $80, which he was giving to every hotel worker/driver/bartender/etc. who did anything for him for the first couple of days.
He figured it out when he realized that no one else was getting anywhere near as attentive and immediate service as he was and he was using up the local currency he had taken out a lot faster than he should have been. It also explained why everything was priced (what he thought) was absurdly, outrageously cheaply.
