(ECONOMICS) A bank that is empowered to issue currency. In the USA, between 1863 ([National Bank] Act) and 1935, any bank with a federally issued charter (i.e., a [national bank]) was allowed to issue currency. After 1914, few did. The US Treasury issued a small number of banknotes until 1971. In the UK, banknotes of the Bank of England are legal tender; but the Royal Bank of Scotland is also a bank of issue. Today, in almost every country of the world, the sole bank of issue is [the central bank] of that country.
