Central Banks

The following table is a comprehensive list of over 180 of the world's current note-issuing authorities.

Where possible, I have included separate links for the English- and native-language home pages, as well as links that take you directly to pages pertaining to banknotes. The Currency column links to the Wikipedia entry describing the country's current or historical currency.

If you encounter a broken link, try again later. In my experience, web sites in developing countries are sometimes intermittently available. If a link is permanently dead, or you spot an omission, please bring it to my attention.
