Bangladesh Bank is going to introduce a new design and series of 100 taka banknotes signed by Governor Dr. Ahsan H Mansur for the first time in the country from next Tuesday (August 12). The Communication and Publication Department (DCP) of Bangladesh Bank gave this information in a notification on Sunday.

The notification said that Bangladesh Bank has taken the initiative to print notes of all denominations (1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5 and 2 taka) in a new design and series titled “Historical and Archaeological Architecture of Bangladesh”. New notes of 1000, 50 and 20 taka have already been introduced in the market. This time, the new 100 taka note is coming to the market.

The new note will be issued initially from Bangladesh Bank’s Motijheel office on the first day. Later, the note will be supplied to the market from other offices of Bangladesh Bank.

Bangladesh Bank said the newly designed banknotes will feature images of the country's historical and archaeological architecture, which will enhance its beauty and collectability.
