No. If all miners start mining their own fork (e.g. creating 250 BTC in a block instead of 25 BTC), users' wallets will reject such blocks. Some other miners will pop up to continue mining the blockchain under previously agreed upon rules.

If it happened just like that, all the new money (which really helps keep prices higher) would dry right up.
