Currently, the value of a dollar (for example) bill is an arbitrary value, which depends on the whim of the government. And the government can print money like a photocopier. There are no restrictions on how much money it can put into circulation.

The US dollar became a fiat currency after the abolition of gold collateral more than 46 years ago and has lost 97% of its value since the creation of the Fed in 1913.
