Talk:Principles of Economics/Money Supply

The following, "The supply of money is determined by the Central Bank through 'monetary policy;" may be ambiguous. My source said that the Treasury Department controls the "printing" of money while the Federal Reserve controls the money supply through the purchase and sale of Treasury Securities on the open market. This is, of course, the U.S. system and is not generalize to other countries which may function differently. On the other hand, this is the English version of Wikipedia. The statement, as presented might misconstrued by some to mean that the Federal Reserve of the US prints money. --Dogsinlove (discuss • contribs) 06:54, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
