The Fed buys treasuries from the private sector to move cash into circulation and everything remains in balance. It has to be a private sector/public sector transaction. It can't be private/private or public/public. @Ivan, I think you’re just reshuffling the deck with no real change.

Reserves are ultimately the balances available for buying treasuries. If reserves are exchanged for currency, isn't there an insufficient amount of reserves, and thus Treasuries, to balance the books? @y,
