That works for cash. In case you haven't noticed, cash isn't common any longer. What about about electronic dollar? The money that never exists in any form other than on some computers managed by systems built and maintained as cost centers that need to have every single possible corner cut? Do you trust those systems to accurately reflect what the Fed actually issued? If so, why? They certainly can't provide even reasonable evidence for it, much less proof. The best they can do is "but the computer says" and point to a machine slapped together by an inexperienced technician and running software maybe cobbled together from outsourced components, poorly documented, and rush out 6 months before the developers on the project thought it was actually ready for use.

They're just getting ready to take that system down to patch the WannaCry vulnerabilities, so you might want to check it quickly. They're not sure how long until they're back up.
