I don't know about my own U.S. currency but I can't get my head around the idea. If it takes more money to make money wouldn't their economy always be shrinking? Unless of course they got more cash to compensate from outside countries? Why isn't it a 1:1 ratio?
It's probably like the materials required to make the Yen coin amount to 2 Yen if sold by themselves. And since we haven't run out of resources (yet).
