  The Central Bank of Sri Lanka serves as the bank of the banks. They formulate monetary policy with the prime objective of ensuring price stability in the economy, which subsequently helps bring in economic stability. They also have another objective, which is to ensure the stability of the financial system. All in All, it's a nice place to be at - placed in a (very) high security zone. They have a (9-storey) car park as well and a gymnasium for their staff (Life Plus).

  The use of money predates history. Government control of money is documented in the ancient Egyptian economy (2750-2150 BC). The Egyptians measured the value of goods with a central unit called shat. As many other currencies, the shat was linked to gold. The value of a shat in terms of goods was defined by government administrations. Other cultures in Asia Minor later materialised their currencies in the form of gold and silver coins. In the medieval and the early modern period a network of professional banks was established in Southern and Central Europe.The institutes built a new tier in the financial economy. The monetary system was still controlled by government institutions, mainly through the coinage prerogative. Banks, however, could use book money to create deposits for their customers. Thus, they had the possibility to issue, lend and transfer money autonomously without direct governmental control. In order to consolidate the monetary system, a network of public exchange banks was established at the beginning of the 17th century in main European trade centres. The Amsterdam Wisselbank was founded as a first institute in 1609. Further exchange banks were located in Hamburg, Venice and Nuremberg. The institutes offered a public infrastructure for cashless international payments.They aimed to increase the efficiency of international trade and to safeguard monetary stability. The exchange banks thus fulfilled comparable functions to modern central banks. The institutes even issued their own (book) currency, called Mark Banco. Source: Wiki
