$1 gets made. (21 month life span... years are for coins, not paper currency)
It is sold to the system for the Federal Funds Rate or the Discount Rate (which is actually a higher rate?)
That means the money lost about 5.5% to 7.0% right off the bat.
Then Donald Trump gets it for another 6% and gives it to your boss.
Your boss gets the money and pays you with it. First he had to pay 12% in taxes on it. You get to pay 28% and then spend it at the grocery store.
There you pay another 7.75% or so.
Then they pay 12% and then their employee pays 28%... and it keeps going for 21 months...
