About the Singapore Dollar
Singapore began issuing its own dollar in 1967, after the common currency shared with Malaysia and Brunei was wound up. Brunei and Singapore kept a link the others dropped: under a Currency Interchangeability Agreement still in force, the two dollars exchange one for one and each is accepted as customary tender in the other country. Note issue passed from the Board of Commissioners of Currency to the Monetary Authority of Singapore in 2002.
Singapore runs monetary policy through the exchange rate rather than through an interest rate. The Monetary Authority manages the dollar against an undisclosed basket of trading-partner currencies, letting it drift inside a band whose slope and width it adjusts as conditions change. The practical effect for anyone converting money is a currency that moves in a narrower range than most small floating currencies, without being pegged to any single one.
The Singapore dollar is legal tender in Singapore and is accepted as customary tender in Brunei, whose dollar exchanges with it one for one.

FAQ
What is the currency of Singapore?
Singapore uses the Singapore dollar, ISO code SGD, written S$ and issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. One dollar divides into 100 cents. It is a distinct currency from the US, Australian, Canadian and Hong Kong dollars, which all share the word and the sign.
Is the Singapore dollar pegged to the US dollar?
No. Singapore manages its currency against a basket of the currencies of its main trading partners, keeping it inside an undisclosed band rather than fixing it to one currency. That makes the Singapore dollar steadier than a free float, but its rate against the US dollar still changes every day.
Can I use Singapore dollars in Malaysia or Brunei?
In Brunei, yes: the two dollars are interchangeable at par and shops take either. In Malaysia, no. The ringgit is a separate currency with its own rate, and Singapore notes are not accepted as payment there.
