What gives money its value?
If a country is broke and needs more money, the logical thing to do would be just print more money right?
"Well achutally inflation would make it lose its value"
Ok, but what if u just print the money in secret?
Say I have a legit money printer that I have acquired from an unknown place, and i decide to print 10 million dollars in secret, no government, no other person knows this money has been printed, does that make the money lose its value? Obviously not if its secretly intridused into the system.
So could a country thats broke, simply not disclose that the money has been printed, put into the money system, and reap all the rewards?
