Money created by manufacturing a new monetary unit, such as paper currency or metal coins, is most often a responsibility of a government's treasury. In modern economies, relatively little of the money supply is in currency (i.e. coins and banknotes); most is created by lending or quantitative easing (see below) using fractional reserve banking. In the U.S., only about 2% to 3% of the total money supply consists of physical coins and paper money. It is usually printed at a mint.

This was a problem because the east had control over the major trade routs. This prevented Rome from gaining any large profit from trade.
