money doesnt grow on trees , thank goodness for that !!

Money doesnt grow on trees , a popular saying.
They say it as if it would be a good thing if it did. What would happen if you had to plant a tree ,nurture it , wait for it to grow, and produce your shiny coins and crispy notes.
Cost of creating that money would be soo high, much more than just printing it out in a mint large scale. And what about the money that is just keyed into accounts by banks ?
It has no kind of paper or metal banking , just a number quickly typed in , effortlessly transferred @ no cost @ all. (i mean actual cost of creating the money not the value of one unit of it )
Infact if we started using edible nuts as money , they would grow on trees. They are just far more expensive than the money we use today ( one of the reasons y its not considered for use as money)
Ultimately, point i make is Money has no value of its own , Its value is derived mainly cos its accepted as legal tender for goods and services. If the govt were to print a lot of crispy notes today and give it away to all the poor, ultimately it would just lose its value and result in sky high prices for all , no better condition for the poor.
Ya i knw its just a saying , shouldn't be interpreted too literally. I'm just trying to say, what may appear to us to be a state of euphoric bliss , may just be a predecessor to pandemonium.
