Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution says that "The Congress shall have Power...To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin," and Section 10 says that "No State shall...coin Money". It is illegal for private citizens to coin money.
The Supreme Court has ruled that Congress's power to coin money includes the power to print paper money and make it legal tender.
The Federal Reserve decides how much money will be produced. Paper money is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and coins are produced by the United States Mint.
