Banknotes of the Bangladeshi taka

Taka is the official currency of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Bank is responsible for the issuance of most of the taka banknotes. The taka banknotes were first issued in 1972, following the independence of Bangladesh, replacing the Pakistani Rupee. The Security Printing Corporation (Bangladesh) Ltd. has the sole legal authority of the printing of the banknotes.

There had been eleven series of taka banknotes since the issuance of the first series in 1972. Banknotes generally feature the heritage sites (mostly mosques), national monuments and portrayals of the village life, agriculture, industry and animals of the country. Apart from this, the portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding president of Bangladesh, was featured in the observe in the series issued under the Awami League governments.
