The Federal Reserve maintains a tight control on the money supply. This is because over circulation of money of the production of too much money can and will lead to inflation.

To demonstrate this we can look at Germany as an example. To pay off the reparations to other countries after World War II they simply printed more money. However, this back-fired when inflation took a steep upturn, millions of percentage points above what it was originally. It cost millions of German marks to buy just a loaf of bread.

This is the reason why The Federal Reserve keep such close tabs on the money supply, because if not inflation in the United States could increase beyond exponentially, and could get out of control.
