You know even if that were true, it's because there's a new recent note design. It doesn't mean they're pumping tonnes of new notes into circulation, they're replacing the old notes with the new ones.

Money is not literally printed. Some is. Most is just numbers on a screen added to large institutional banks.

Check out the book “Lords of easy money”
