https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_creation
The central bank, or other competent, state authorities (such as the Treasury), are typically empowered to create new, physical currency, i.e. paper notes and coins, in order to meet the needs of commercial banks for cash withdrawals, and to replace worn and/or destroyed currency.
[28] The process does not increase the money supply, as such; the term "printing [new] money" is considered a misnomer.[1]
In modern economies, relatively little of the supply of
broad money is in physical currency.
