Not actually, it is the role of the Central Bank, that is somewhat independent from the government. Central Banks control money supply in order to keep inflation low, but positive.

In the United States, one of the 18 "Enumerated Powers"of the Congress is "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;". So no State can create its own money. Some of the states, notably California, occasionally try to create their own money when the state budget is late. These "registered warrants" have been deemed legal by California judges, but the US Supreme Court has never ruled on the issue. It seems likely that if this ever came to Supreme Court, the justices would rule it unconstitutional.

Each country has a corresponding entity that prints money for the country's use.
