Central banks are government owned and/or sponsored banks that issue notes and typically receive special privileges in the form of exemption from restrictions or taxes on note issue, or whose notes are made legal tender by government fiat (hence the term fiat currency -- the notes are current (legal tender) by government fiat (law).
Also involved with reserve ratios is the interest rate, because the primary method of attracting reserves of specie from within a country and from abroad into the central bank treasury, or stemming their outflow, is to offer higher interest rates on deposits (central banks take deposits as well as issue notes).
