Question:
12. Suppose that under the postwar "dollar standard" system foreign central banks had held dollar reserves in the form of green dollar bills hidden in their vaults rather than U.S. Treasury bills.

(Hint: Think about what happens to the U.S. and Japanese money supplies, for example, when the Bank of Japan sells yen for dollar bills that it then keeps.)
