If I had a nickel for every one I've seen, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's strange it happened twice.

And I have no idea what it means.

A couple of examples:

One and two.

"Money printer go BRRRRR" was originally a joke about the US Federal Reserve printing money to make all the financial problems go away, usually paired with something like Wojack screaming about how economics work.

It got co-opted by the GameStop stock movement (Apes) saying GME was the money printer. Whenever the stock went down people would post memes of apes asking "Where money printer?"
