Unless you're the owner of the bank, you have IOUs with the fiat bank. Even if you are the owner of a fiat bank, it's not likely you have all the cash to cover if everyone wants the cash you owe them tomorrow and if you're a smaller fiat bank, the ~90% of the digitally represented assets on your balance sheet are most likely in the custody of a fiat correspondent bank. Even if you're one of the central fiat banks you don't have enough berries to make jam for all the claims outstanding, since by their own numbers, only ~10% of the FRNs in circulation exist in physical form.
