If any country printed more money, they wouldn't magically become more rich, because the more dollars the exist on the country, the less they will be worth, thus leading to massive inflation, rendering the US Dollar worthless.

∙ 8y agoIncreasing money supply (quantitative easing) makes people feel richer, but money on its own has no value - only the goods or services it can buy. Hence, printing money causes inflation which devalues the currency.

However if they print too much money, then its value falls (as with anything having an excess of supply) triggering inflation.
One of the worst examples of this was post World War 1 Germany, where they printed enormous amounts of money (even going so far as to reprint higher denominations over existing bills) to pay the reparations to the Allies demanded in the treaty of Versailles. The result was a rampant exponential inflation followed by a depression that spread virtually worldwide, becoming the "Great Depression" when it reached the United States. This inflation/depression was a significant factor in the rise of Adolf Hitler's political power and the start of World War 2.
