Because the total combined worth of all notes is the same no matter how many notes there are

So making more just means each note I'd worth less, it does nothing

Only the ECB controls the amount of Euros in circulation. That is one of the problems facing Greece!

This makes me wonder if any societies or nations ever had wooden currency.

@previous (Catherine !TGirlYJKXM)
Scrip and tokens have often been issued locally in times of severe economic distress such as financial crises and the Civil War. During the Depression, a local bank in Tenino, Washington, issued emergency currency printed on thin shingles of wood. Blaine, Washington, soon did the same with both flat scrip and, in response to requests generated by news and word of mouth, coins that included a 5-cent piece. The Chicago World’s Fair in 1933 issued wooden nickels as souvenirs, and the tradition of wooden nickels as tokens and souvenirs continues to the present day.


Until your reply I was aware of the wooden nickel but did not have any background on it other then the expression don't tale wooden nickels.
