If my printer could literally print out money, would it have that big an effect on the world?

—DEREK O'BRIEN

You can fit four bills on an 8.5”x11” sheet of paper:

If your printer can manage one page (front and back) of full-color high-quality printing per minute, that’s $200 million dollars a year.

This is enough to make you very rich, but not enough to put any kind of dent in the world economy. Since there are 7.8 billion $100 bills in circulation, and the lifetime of a $100 bill is about 90 months, that means there are about a billion produced each year. Your extra two million bills a year would barely be enough to notice.
