That only works when the paper used is finite.

There is some place on the web where you can play a free war game.

In this game you need to acquire certain items to stay in the game.

Some items bring more power than others.

When the game first started, golden rings were items offering their owners lots of power, compared to other items which I will call spears.

Gold rings were few in number. There were however, many spears. In total, the number of spears and rings that were available was heavily dependent upon the number of players in the game.

In the beginning, players traded spears for golden rings. As they held the gold rings, the rings were fewer in number and harder to acquire. In time, web sites were created to trade gold rings. Money changed hands. At one time, people were paying 50-100 dollars for golden rings.

As more and more people however, joined the game, more rings were produced.

Suddenly there was an abundance of rings.

Now you can't give them away.

Anyone know where this web site is?

your farmer and all who had value to his wheat receive something in return by which both keep track using dollars.

That's fine until you find out there's a whole batch of dollars out there never exchanged for anything at all. They were simply created out of thin air.
