printed money
Physical legal tender
Printed money is currency produced by a government or central bank—paper bills rather than coins or digital funds.
The phrase often carries connotations of excessive or irresponsible monetary policy: The Fed just printed money to bail out the banks.
Critics of government spending use it to suggest inflation or devaluation: They're solving every problem by printing money.
