Elizabeth needs a loan, but she doesn't want gold, she wants receipts, she wants money.Remember that: - Fred issues receipts only for deposits.

- Two: Fred can loan Elizabeth the receipts directly. Note that:

- If every receipt is redeemed, then Fred is in trouble.
- But Fred knows that only a fraction of the gold is redeemed at any given time.
