> “Print” is a misnomer, as only the US Mint prints paper currency and mints metal coins which is a very tiny sliver of the M0 money supply.

If you're going to be pedantic, the Mint only does coins. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints the paper money.

Yes, good catch.

More about breaking down exactly how the Fed's digital dollar ledger updates actually result increasing the money supply.

Despite everyone knowing the "printer go brr" meme being just a colloquialism, I don't think people are really clear on what the reality is. It is Just-In-Time creation of dollars upon transaction.
