Talk:Federal Reserve Bank

message: The final paragraph of the "Function" section says:
:"A major responsibility of The Federal Reserve is to oversee their banking and financial systems. Overseeing the banking and financial systems of a bank is crucial in a society.(citation)
:
This strikes me as either opinion or a poorly written cite to an opinion.  I'm considering just deleting the section.  Any discussion?

thread_title: Function section

message: How is it that a corporation that claims to have only $63 million in securities and a total net worth of $303 million (http://www.fdic.gov/about/strategic/corporate/cfo_report_4qtr_04/assets.html), claims to be able to guarantee over $630 billion (http://www.frbservices.org/Cash/CashQ-A.html) of fake Federal Reserve Notes in circulation today?
:I'm not sure that I understand the question, but the BIF actually has about $34 billion in cash and treasury notes. SAIF has another $12 billion or so.  Rhobite 13:21, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Notes

message: Is there any reason for this page and Federal Reserve to coexist?  Since that page has much more material, maybe this should redirect there and any differences between the pages can be resolved.

thread_title:  Merger from Federal Reserve Districts 

message: The article says nothing about how the Fed works. Is it like conventional banks that invest depositors' money in loans or other securities? Was the two-trillion-dollar loan described above based on bank assets or did the bank create money out of thin air by some means? If the latter, how can it do that? What is meant when it's said that the Fed "prints" money? Virgil H. Soule (talk) 02:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Zbvhs: The Fed must be understood as a system. For that explanation, see Federal Reserve System.The Federal Reserve's creation of money happens independently from its issue and retirement of notes. The Fed doesn't create money by "printing" but rather by crediting the accounts of other institutions. Inflation from this activity is not limited by destroying notes; it is limited by exchanging the new money for assets that already exist in the economy. 2001:558:6045:D8:61BE:60A0:94BA:A195 (talk) 05:11, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
