...government officials are studying the consequences of the newly pervasive greenback and the concomitant rise in counterfeiting. The currency outflow produces one sweet side effect: the Treasury saves an estimated $15 billion a year since it pays nothing on the dollars held overseas that don't make their way into American interest-bearing accounts. At the same time, since the flow of funds abroad cannot be precisely quantified, it makes it almost impossible for the Fed to gauge the domestic money supply and thus know with certainty how to manipulate it.

Partly in consequence, the once booming economy has stagnated. By some estimates, output of goods and services over the past 10 years has grown on average only around 1% a year (with...
