In banking, the term national bank carries several meanings:
In the past, the term "national bank" has been used synonymously with "central bank", but it is no longer used in this sense today. Some central banks may have the words "National Bank" in their name; conversely if a bank is named in this way, it is not automatically considered a central bank. For example, National Bank of Canada of Montreal, Canada, is a privately owned commercial bank. On the other side, National Bank of Ethiopia is the central bank of Ethiopia and National Bank of Cambodia is the central bank of Cambodia.
Pashtany Bank is the government-owned bank in based in Kabul that controls Da Afghanistan Bank as well as the Afghan National Bank.
The Czech National Bank, (Czech: Česká národní banka, ČNB) is the central bank and financial market supervisor in the Czech Republic with its headquarters in Prague. The Bank's governor is Miroslav Singer. In accordance with its primary objective, the CNB sets monetary policy, issues banknotes and coins and manages the circulation of currency, the payment system and settlement between banks. It also performs supervision of the banking sector, the capital market, the insurance industry, pension funds, credit unions and electronic money institutions, as well as foreign exchange supervision.
The first independent banking system, in what is now the Czech Republic, was The Banking Office of the Ministry of Finance. The bank was established in 1919, due to the development of a new state. When the kingdom of Bohemia ceased to exist in 1918, the creation of Czechoslovakia called for a new central bank and currency. Czechoslovakia, which was the only democratic government in central and Eastern Europe before World-War II, located the main headquarters of the bank in Prague.
What gives words the power to change their intended ..

And who said our last silver dollar already has been
spent?
I roam alone through rooms we share
You catch a glimpse of who I am
I see that you return my stare
I give you a nod but don?t give you a damn
No, I don?t give you a damn
And who says we don't like feeling blue?
Cause I must like it as much as I do
And who says we don't use all this feeling blue
To avoid a conversation that might just ring true?
Might just ring true?
I tend to skip forward to the darkest of my favourite
cd songs
I hum them in my head when the sun is beating down on
my rubber thongs
I roam alone through the rooms we share
You catch a glimpse of who I am
I see that you return my stare
I give you a nod but don?t give you a damn
No, I don?t give you a damn
And who says we don't like feeling blue?
We must like it as much as I we do
And who says we don't like feeling blue
Cause I must like it as much as I do
And who says we don't use all this feeling blue
To avoid a conversation that might just ring true?
That might just ring true?
