The history of banknotes in Bangladesh reflects the economic and political evolution of this South Asian country. Since its independence in 1971, Bangladesh has issued several series of banknotes, each representing a chapter in its development as a nation.

Current Bangladeshi banknotes are denominated in Taka and are available in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 10, 20, 50, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Taka. These banknotes feature modern designs that incorporate cultural and historical elements of the country, such as the National Parliament, the Bengal tiger and prominent figures in Bangladeshi history. The most recent series, introduced in 2011, includes advanced security features such as security threads, watermarks and color-changing inks.

Old banknotes and landmarks in note-making

Bangladesh' s first banknotes were issued shortly after independence, overprinting Pakistani bills with the legend "Bangladesh Bank." In 1972, the first official series of Bangladeshi banknotes was introduced, including denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 100 Taka. An important milestone in the country's notafilia was the issuance of the commemorative 40 Taka bill in 2011, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of independence. Over the years, the designs have evolved to reflect the country's progress, incorporating themes of economic development and cultural preservation.
