Real economic growth (NB: inflation adjusted) cannot grow infinitely. In fact, growth of the value of the currencies you've listed points instead to the finite nature of resources, since they have no intrinsic value, except as a measure of exchange for other goods and services. Supply of resources being constricted means that fiat currencies will go up over time. That doesn't mean that economic growth is infinite.
