Controlling the supply of money.

Think it through a bit farther. How exactly do they "control the supply of money?"

Hint: try printing your own, and see how that goes.

This is purely pedantic, but making printing money illegal is controlling the supply of currency, which is different than controlling the money supply.

The money supply is elastic and can't strictly be controlled by anyone. The government will artifically increase it by printing currency or loaning money, however, which has essentially the same effect.

BerkShares Inc. has been doing it for years now.
