New notes are coming to the market
Newly designed notes of 1000 taka are coming to the market soon. None of these notes that came to the market before and after Eid will have Sheikh Mujib’s picture. The design of the new notes will include various themes of martyrs in the July Revolution, youth, Sundarbans, heritage and culture.
It is known that the 20 taka note will be coming to the market on May 27. It will have pictures of Kantjiu Temple and Buddhist temple. The 50 taka note with the picture of Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin’s famine and the picture of Atia Mosque will be released on May 29 or 30, and the 1000 taka note with the picture of Bangabhaban and the National Memorial will be released on June 2. Due to the delay in the supply of paper from Europe, the 5 taka note with the images of Abu Sayeed and Mughdi will be released after Eid.
In this regard, Bangladesh Bank spokesperson and Executive Director Arif Hossain Khan told the media that the design of the new note has already been finalized. Paper has been brought. Printing of several different notes including the 1000 taka note has begun. This time, no note will have a complete picture of a person. However, the design of the new note will include martyrs of the July Revolution, youth, the Sundarbans, and various aspects of tradition and culture. I also think that a few new notes will be coming before Eid. An official of Bangladesh Bank told a journalist that the 5 taka will have the picture of Abu Sayeed and the enchanted, the 10 taka will have the symbol of youth unity and the picture of the National Mosque Baitul Mukarram. The 100 taka will have the picture of a deer and a tiger, recognized by UNESCO as the Sundarbans, which is the symbol of the change in the note after the departure of the previous government. The 200 taka will have a mosque, temple, church and pagoda as a symbol of religious diversity, and the 500 taka will have the picture of the historical Ahsan Manzil. It is known that although the design of the new note was proposed to be finalized in just 15 days last August, it was not realistic. Because everything including the design, paper, security materials requires foreign participation and the entire process including the tender takes 5-7 months. That is why the plan to issue the note before Eid-ul-Fitr could not be implemented.
