Guess I was wrong then. What do they do if everybody did suddenly want their money?
1929-1933 version: Go bankrupt. About 5000 banks in the US shut their doors.
2008 version: Ask the government for a bailout.
Though IIRC I read somewhere that 0 or very few Canadian banks went bankrupt in the Great Depression, so they must have been doing something right.
