What are the sources of Money Creation in the game?

And can you abuse them to create even more?

For sure, borrowing money duplicates it, cause the money of the pops stay on them, and are poured into the economy again, once a nation spends them again. That would be the largest duplication I can think of, as it's all just a ledger loan, with double counting.

There is also the mining of gold, but I would assume that would be minimal, and wouldn't explain money growth in countries without gold production.

Any other source?

Correct if I'm wrong, but don't the peasants get part of their income ex-nihilo? It's generally more profitable to have "gainfully employed" pops though.

The income you get from the canal companies when they prosper used to be listed as "Minting" as well, but now the wiki says "tax income" - can't check ingame rn. But it's probably still freshly printed money straight from the void.

What about mechanics with companies?
