If you print more money, it is easier to get. The easier it is to get, the more people that have it. The more people that have it, it isn't very valuable because a lot of people have it. Here is just a comparison: Edvard Munch's "the Scream" wouldn't be valuable if he had painted four hundred paintings. Since Edvard Munch only painted one or two paintings of "the Scream", it is very valuable because everyone likes it, but there are only one or two paintings, which makes it valuable. It is the same thing with money, because the rarer it is, the more valuable it is. It doesn't just work with money - it works with every item in the world.

Why did the articles of confederation not allow the stats to coin their own money?

The Articles of Confederation did allow individual states to coin their own money. This was one of the primary problems with the Articles. The United States Constitution, however, did not allow states to coin their own money. The reason for this is that there was no efficient way of determining the value of one state's currency in relation to another state's. Printing money is different than coining money, however, as coining money means establishing a new unit of currency, while printing money simply means the actual production of those units. When states began printing their own money, this caused problems of inflation, as the value of money depreciated.
