How are "foreign reserves" held by governments?

[QUOTE="Stephen Tashi, post: 6835156, member: 186655"] No. What I have in mind is that countries (and I presume individuals) can hold financial assets in a particular currency and have them remain in that currency. For example, a dictatorship that needs to import products from the US will want to hold assets in dollars. However, it won't be able to hold huge dollar assets in actual paper dollars or coins. So how does it keep its dollar assets and what prevents its banks from arbitrarily setting the dollar assets that are held? [/QUOTE]
