新元 xīnyuán @ 《中華語文大辭典〉

3.〈書〉新的年號。

新元 xīnyuán @ 《全球华语大词典》
新加坡元的简称。
-----------------------

Editor: I would not capitalize it.

新加坡 is a proper noun, so its pinyin is capitalized, but 新元 is a common currency name, not a proper name. Currency names are generally common nouns: hence "Singapore dollar", not "Singapore Dollar", and 人民幣 is written rénmínbì.

Derivation from an abbreviated proper name does not by itself mean that capitalization is required. Similarly, 歐元 is uncapitalized (ōuyuán) in New Age, Wiktionary, New Century and CC-CEDICT, even though 歐 derives from 歐洲.

美元 is likewise uncapitalized in CC-CEDICT and New Age.

I am aware that other dictionaries vary in their application of pinyin capitalization rules in cases like this.

The submitted trad form 新币 is incorrect; it should be 新幣.
