Right, Well all know money is just a number on a computer these days.

Whats to stop the government adding a couple of 0's to there bank roll?

Also when money was "real" what was there to stop the royal mint printing of some extra millions for there employees?
 
If they printed more and gave it out the money would be worth less.

Look up hyper-inflation - I remember reading about it where a country did just that, printed off more money, and people would be paying millions for loaves of bread, and wheelbarrows full of money were literally pocket change.

This is one of lifes great mysteries, along with how people used to drive to different places before motorways were built.
 
A paedophile with no understanding of monetary value and no knowledge of how cars got around before motorways. You really are a strange one, aren't you?
