There's no evidence they have increased their production capacity recently.
when you go to the bank and ask for a loan do you have to wait while they send a courier to the local mint to collect your cash?

Reading the link it seems that it's a new note version; none of which are currently in circulation; which has a defect. This doesn't appear to be a money supply issue, but a printing and quality control cockup that could cause a timeline knock on effect.
No biggie, they can delay the note release.
