MIS
In most countries today, the monetary authority--the organization that issues the currency--is a central bank. A typical central bank today is a wholly government-owned body, separate from the ministry of finance, that has a monopoly of issuing notes (paper money) and coins. A typical central bank today has a high degree of discretionary power: it is constrained by no monetary rule, such as a binding commitment to a particular exchange rate or inflation rate.
