    US only requires 10% cash reserves. All good when there's trust in the USD and the banks.

    Wikipedia
    "The process of fractional-reserve banking expands the money supply of the economy but also increases the risk that a bank cannot meet its depositor withdrawals. Modern central banking allows banks to practice fractional-reserve banking with inter-bank business transactions with a reduced risk of bankruptcy."
