With the Fed’s announcement Wednesday many people may be wondering “How does the Fed print money?” Here is a snippet from my Daily Piece on Currencies.

Most of the time when we say that a central bank “prints money” that does not mean that they actually fire up the electronic version of a printing press. They can and this is the way Bernanke described it in 2002 when he said that “The U.S. government has a technology called a printing press (or today its electronic equivalent) that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost.
