“what happened when the US Govt used to print it’s own money before it was co-opted “

The government printed its own money as the US Note issue, aka Lincoln’s Greenbacks. That resulted in inflation and a suspension of the gold standard for a decade.

The government still prints all of our currency at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
