David, There's no mystery to the difference between an official central bank and a separate official government agency that looks after various printing and coinage operations. I reckon your issue is with the fiat money concept generally. Not sure why it matters whether the M0...M4 monetary operations and the M0 specializes instantiation operations are in the same or in different organizations of the same government. Nothing wrong with that. I think this thread is off-topic for this list, however.
