Notes and coin in circulation
The accompanying table shows a breakdown of notes and coin in circulation. The total figure is entered on the liabilities side of the Central Bank´s balance sheet.
In most cases, money in circulation refers to cash outside the Central Bank and deposit money banks. The difference between that figure and the total in the balance sheet is the deposit money banks' overnight cash balance, namely the notes and coin on the asset side of the DMBs' balance sheets at the end of the business day. Part of this cash is kept in the branches of commercial banks and savings banks, and the remainder in their ATMs.
