Inflation? No more money is created from using a PLEX-type system. So this must mean all that happened was money people has been hording - for "rainy days" or just didn't know what to do with - was put back into circulation.

PS: In RL this doesn't happen because money you keep into the bank is loaned out by the bank, so it actually remains in circulation.
