This category is for the small number of currencies in the world which have several banks or other institutions which are permitted to issue banknotes under one currency. Scotland and Northern Ireland banknotes come under the Pound sterling.
The Singapore Dollar is no longer one of these currencies since the merger of its central bank. The Cook Islands dollar could arguably be included here but it appears to be a separate currency at par with the New Zealand Dollar rather than just a licensed note issuer.
For info:
Bank for International Settlements. "The Role of Central Bank Money in Payment Systems" (PDF). pp. 96, and see also page 9: "The coexistence of central and commercial bank monies: multiple issuers, one currency". Retrieved 2008-03-14. Although historically not the case, these days banknotes are usually issued only by the central bank. This is broadly the case in all CPSS economies, except Hong Kong SAR, where banknotes are issued by three commercial banks. Singapore and the United Kingdom are more limited exceptions. Singapore dollar banknotes have been issued by the Board of Currency Commissioners, a government agency, although following the merger of the Board into the MAS in October 2002 this is no longer the case. In the United Kingdom, Scottish banks retain the right to issue banknotes alongside those of the Bank of England and three banks currently still do so.
