Bangladesh Bank to Release New Designed Banknote of 100 Taka

Bangladesh Bank has announced the release of a newly designed Taka 100 banknote which will enter circulation on August 12. According to a media release of the central bank on Sunday, the process of printing new series banknotes has been initiated featuring designs inspired by Bangladesh's historic and archaeological architecture across all denominations.

As part of this initiative, the new Taka 100 banknote, signed by Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H Mansur will be released following the recent introduction of redesigned Taka 1000, Taka 50, and Taka 20 notes.

Initially, the new Taka 100 notes will be available from Bangladesh Bank’s Motijheel office on August 12, and will subsequently be distributed through other regional offices of the central bank.

The central bank also clarified that the newly designed Taka 100 banknote will be circulated alongside all existing paper notes and coins of the same denomination.

Considering the interests of currency collectors, Bangladesh Bank has printed non-negotiable specimen notes of the Taka 100 denomination. Interested individuals can collect those notes from the Currency Museum located in Mirpur.
