Answer:

A. ​Coins, which are issued by the Treasury are an asset of the Fed and a component of the monetary base.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coins issued by the government are part of the money supply of the country, but they are not an asset of the FED. The Fed's assets are: Treasury holdings, agency and mortgage backed securities, foreign currency holdings and LLCs that have their assets consolidated in the FED's balance sheet.
