No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The amount changes all the time, and depends on what you define "money" as.
Almost every country (every one on the WTO) publishes monthly volumes. Here's the one for the US if you consider that money is cash and the contents of all the bank accounts:

That "M1" is a standard definition, that is easy to search for any country.
If you start to add things like credit card balances and government papers that can be used in most large transaction, you arrive at the other definitions. There's a wiki page for them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply
The M1 to M3 set is an international standard, but many countries add other definitions to their publications.
EDIT:
And of course, I didn't tell how the amount changes.
Each kind of money changes by its own particular process, that is actually quite obvious once you think of money that way.
Cash is printed by the government, and destroyed mostly by it too (but some times by accident). It's a form of government debit.
Bank deposits are created when banks make loans (that is, they get somebody's money and give to another person, but still keeping the first person's money on their account), and destroyed when the loan id paid back.
Credit card debit is created when people buy stuff on credit, and destroyed when they pay it back.
And so on.
