<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1208148, member: 22143&quot;]Exactly and there hasn&#039;t been a run on any bank since the 1930s.&nbsp; A real bank run is when a bank can&#039;t hand out currency to its depositors and they are left holding nothing.&nbsp; &nbsp; No depositor in the USA has this concern because the FDIC and other agencies, backed by the Federal Reserve, will create the money and hand it to them.&nbsp; All dollars these days are issued by the Federal Reserve.&nbsp; They have a 100% monopoly on all US currency.&nbsp; &nbsp; If you can provide an example where this isn&#039;t the case, the please provide it.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Yes I realize the USA can directly issue dollars as the authority is still there.&nbsp; However they have not done so since 1971.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
