Depends on the money and the actual quantity. Gold, for example, would have a ton of use/value regardless of what's minted out of it.

All the physical money in circulation today? You'd have a trash/storage problem of some magnitude.

All the bits or coin on a ledger? Maybe a curious legal situation.
