I suspect that you have incomplete understanding what 'profit' means in accounting terms. If you got your hands on printing press and 'produced' couple hundred bills, it is not a profit even you are able to use them in the near grocery store. Similarly, coin debasement well-known in historical annals was not a profit-producing measure, in accounting terms again. Currency debasement does not work here either. Do you understand things a bit better now? Do you know that Fed is the major (practically only one) buyer of Treasury bills at this point?
