How to bank deposits leave the country? I get the physical currency, but the deposits I am lost on. I feel like at best they are transferred from a US bank, to a domestic (US) office of a foreign bank. I guess that can be considered "offshore", but not really (e.g., if it goes from JPM Chase to Barlcays US branch).

Got it. So, like most other things with banking, it's simply a bookkeeping exercise.

Could you view the Rest of World claims on deposits then as Eurodollars?

Seems it would fit the definition provided by Friedman.

a market exists for each currency. EuroEuros, EuroYens, etc.
