Too much currency in an economic system will cause inflation.
If old notes stayed in use alongside newly issued ones, the total money supply would rise. With more money chasing the same amount of goods and services, prices tend to rise (inflation), reducing purchasing power and destabilizing the economy. (“Artificial wealth” is a loose way to describe this effect, but inflation — not real increases in production — is the correct economic consequence.)
