It's easy. Create a list of all countries that have their own currency. That same list is will work for a list of countries that are printing money.

I'm sure that there are services that provide what your looking for. If your looking for free data ... google will be your friend or just look at every central bank's website for their reports.

I would like to know where to find data on printed money for different countries . . . .

From 1961 to the present day I would suggest this reference book from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Catalog- ... 1440215847

For paper issues prior to 1961 try this one;
http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Catalog- ... 1440212937

Both books listed at Amazon have the "search inside" feature available so you can browse the pages and see if this is what you want.

If these are not to your satisfaction then always remember that G.I.Y.F. (as has been mentioned above)

How do you tell when a politician is lying using body language? Here's how: if their lips are moving they are lying.

Similarly: how to tell if a country is printing money. If their money is not fully backed by actual physical precious metals, they are printing money.

It is very difficult to find data to verify that.
Do you have any suggestions where to get the data online?
Thanks everyone very much for any suggestions

oem - suggest you start at the beginning....

basically ALL paper money is nothing more than a promise to be a recognized medium of standardized exchange.
So while it theoretically may be backed by an asset of some sort in reality it is/may be not possible to get your hands on that asset.

so your original question is still unanswered - what data are you looking for?
are you looking for the type of cotton used, the size of the paper, the reason for paper printing. It is like asking for information regarding 'food'

This is your Lucky day!!
By sheer coincidence someone named 'Eric' has posted the exact same question (practically word for word) on "Yahoo answers"
Here is the link;

If you monitor this web link you might find what you are looking for.

Sorry for the flippant reply.

This article might be a good starting point.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply

Various central banks publish figures from which one may be able to ferret out the answer to your question (see links at the end). Eg http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/tables/index.html - see the D3 spreadsheet.

There is a long history of debate about the relationship between "money supply" and inflation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_economics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity_theory_of_money

A lot of bloggers, particularly those of the Austrian persuasion and Gold enthusiasts, are concerned about this issue so you can look in the blogosphere for their views.

I would think you would first have to state how you plan on defining "printing money". Once there is a definitation, you can then work on measuring it.

Do you define it as a growth in money supply? If so, are there instances where the money supply can grow without money being printed. Is it an increase in the debt level?

Referring to D3 spreadsheet, I find information about M1 and M3, but no information for which countries.

printing money is referring to M1, M2, M3 for following different countries.
AUD, EURO, GBP, CAN, JPY, Swiss, USD
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks everyone very much for any suggestions

o.k. that narrows it down. (Your original question was very vague.)
Now that we know exactly what you are looking for, namely the Measures of money Supply M1, M2, M3, M4 (& MZM, I presume) your question can be now answered.
The link below describes these money aggregates in detail and gives you graphs of each measure for some of the countries around the world (i.e. US, UK, Euroland, Ozzieland, Japan etc)
(see section 3 of the below link)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply

One thing to note is that these measures may not be best way to show the ‘pure’ money supply since some of these take into account term deposits, money market funds and other non-cash money equivalents.
Perhaps you might like to look into the measure known as “True Money Supplyâ€

Here’s a handy link from the von Mises institute that allows you to plot graphs of TMS as well as all the other aggregates. You can also download the data as well. Unfortunately it’s only US figures.
http://mises.org/content/nofed/chart.aspx

If it is only US figures, so will it reflect on amount of money in USD only?
which does not include other countries' currency.

In term of determining whether US is printing money or collecting it,
does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of units I should use to reflect those situations?

Thanks everyone very much for suggestions
