There are now twenty clams on the island and ten dollar bills; the two of them have achieved a two for one increase in the value of money by doing the exact thing which is supposed to always DECREASE the value of money i.e. printing it.

Works just fine until you run out of clams (which is just about where we are), then the guy with all of those dollars finds out they won't get him anything he thought he was going to be able to buy later.

At that point he trades them for whatever is he can get; two dollars for a clam...sure; three dollars for a clam...OK.
