Why doesn't the government print money and get rich?

Have you ever wonder why our government or state bank of Pakistan cannot print currency and get rich and easily remove poverty?
We will find the answer to that but lets first discuss what currency actually is.In past people used barter system.But because this system was not that reliable so gold coins were invented to use as a way to exchange after which paper currency was invented.The bank told people to give their gold coins to them and recieve paper money which they would be able to use as a currency.
Today the government is free and can print as much many as they want to but why they dont?Let me give you an example,so in 2002 Zimbabwe's president thought that he had to pay the pending money so why not he print money and pay the pending money.At the start of 2008 everyone in the country was a millionaire and because having this much money no one was willing to work.Obviously if someone would have that much many why would they go to work and tire themselves.This resulted in reduction in the production and the prices increased after every 24 hours.The demand of things were high and production was low.The prices were this much high that the government had to print notes of 100 trillion.To buy a bread people used to pay a car full of money.The currency value dropped.After which the government told people to burn all the money they had because there was no value of that money.They started to use foreign currencies like dollar and euros and it is still used today.If a country prints more money it would result in inflation.That is the reason why banks print a limited amount of money.
