This simply defies logic. If the new currency has no value, it wouldn't be created, since it would then serve no valuable purpose. If it has value, then that value didn't appear out of the blue (otherwise a nation could increase its total prosperity by merely increasing its currency supply). The value in the newly created currency was stolen from the value of preexisting currency units. Had it not been created, what would have been sucked into the black holes you describe? Preexisting currency is the answer. Zero sum game.
