> its possible to have more 'dollars' than there are atoms in the universe

We are absolutely not printing money fast enough to realize this dream, unfortunately. I propose we mint a new bill, the 100 trillion non-Zimbabwe dollar, and 10x our printing speed.

Yeah, that would do it. Actually though it's important to remember that 'dollars' and 'currency' are two related but very different things. :-) I'm gonna guess you already know that too.

The Trillion Dollar Coin[1] was a real thing oddly. And I have always wondered if was the inspiration for Sam Bankman-frieid's crypto scam with FTX to mint your own crypto token that you could claim was worth billions so that your ledgers added up "in theory."
