Re: 'Base interest rate' and capitalism

Well obviously there is some re-issuing / destruction of physical currency, simply at a rate to make counterfitting sufficiently hard to be uneconomic. But as mentioned, that's only a tiny % of the overall supply.

Having said that, it's still important. There's probably some research on this already but I'd assume once you reached the stage where more than 5% of (physical) currency was forged you'd start seeing serious side-effects to the economy (i.e. people using dollars instead of your currency or whatever).
