5 Dollars BCCS

The Board of Commissioners of Currency Singapore was a statutory body established in 1967 to separate the currency-issuing function from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which handled central banking. That separation lasted until 2002, when the MAS absorbed the BCCS and became Singapore's sole currency authority — making all BCCS-issued notes, including this 1999 series, the final output of a now-defunct institution.

The print run of just over 12 million is modest by regional standards for this denomination, and watermark-only security on a late-1990s note reflects the series' positioning as a transitional issue rather than a fully upgraded one.
