The War on Cash

Chapter 1: Money and Cash

Money can take many forms. It could be gold or silver, paper or shells. Even stolen Tide laundry detergent is being used as money in some of the inner city black markets, mostly to use in payment for drugs [1.1]. Honeybuns are used as money in some prisons [1.2]. For the most part, today’s money is in the form of checks and check cards, credit (debt), and various forms of electronic currency transfers. Cash is nothing more than the physical manifestation of money.

If a check is lost in the mail, it can be replaced and nothing is lost. If a $100 bill gets lost in the mail, it is simply gone. That’s the risk and the beauty of cash: it’s anonymous. It’s largely untraceable in its current form. Cash is always considered money, but money takes many forms other than cash.

Bitcoin is a new form of money that many people are excited about, but it is not cash.

How much money is there in the United States, and how much of it is physical cash? According to the Federal Reserve, “There was approximately $1.70 trillion in circulation as of January 31, 2019. This figure includes Federal Reserve notes ($1,655.2 billion), U.S. notes ($0.2 billion), currency no longer issued ($0.2 billion), and coins outstanding ($47.2 billion)” [1.3]. The key here is “in circulation.” Currency in circulation refers to U.S. coins and paper currency in the hands of the public. That means it’s not in the bank: it’s in your wallet, in a cash register, under your mattress, or buried in your back yard.

According to the New York Federal Reserve Board’s web site: “… as much as two-thirds of U.S. currency in circulation may be held outside the United States….” But even though it is not present in the country, it is still counted in the money supply, because it can be spent on goods and services in the U.S. economy [1.4.]. Here’s another interesting fact: the most popular denomination of Federal Reserve note outside of the United States is the $100 bill. That’s right. There are more $100 bills outside the U.S. than inside. But then you probably already knew that just by looking in your wallet. Many of those foreign-located $100 bills are held by central banks, drug cartels, and perhaps oil sheiks.

So, let’s do a little calculation. Don’t worry: I’ll do all the math. Since there is about $1,700,000,000,000 (that’s $1.7 trillion) of cash in circulation and only one third of that is held in wallets inside the United States, that means about $566,666,666,667 ($566.7 billion) is in circulation inside the U.S.; since there are roughly 253,000,000 adults in the U.S. in 2018, we can say that there is enough cash in circulation for each U.S. resident adult to have about $2,240 dollars in their pockets or under their mattress [1.5]. Do you have your share?

Although it’s easy to learn how much cash is in circulation, it’s not as easy to figure out how much money in U.S. dollars exists in the world. It’s like trying to answer the question: “How many doves are resting on tree branches in the world right now?” It’s unanswerable. Various sources put the number around $10 trillion. And, also according to “various sources,” about 90 percent of that $10 trillion is electronic money. In other words, it’s not cash and never will be turned into cash. You can’t see it or touch it. It exists only as digital bits on a computer in a central bank, created by monetary magic possessed only by the bank.
