How do banks create money

[richardiv]

When central banks issue money, how do they do it? If it's sold, then who is it sold to and how do buyers pay?

In what context.....?????

Do you mean how to banks print and issue money or how do central banks plough money into the markets (like the us treasury have just done???!!)

[richardiv]

to be honest, I'd be interested in the answer to both
