do you not realize that scarcity is why ANYTHING is worth anything? If you just print more money the inflation rate would rise and money would be worth less, and it would take MORE money to maintain your standard of living. Currency itself is just an abstraction to replace the barter system. it used to be given an actual value in gold, but when the gold standard was repealed the only reason money retained its value was because everyone agreed it still had value. To introduce a new currency that is not endorsed by everyone you plan on doing business with reminds me of third grade where the teacher xeroxed their own "meyers bucks" for their class, and invariably a few students would try to go buy ice cream with them. it just doesn't work.
I'd say more but i've gotta run
