The Bangladesh Bank has announced the release of a newly designed Tk100 banknote, which will enter circulation on 12 August.

On Sunday, the Department of Communications and Publications of the central bank confirmed the information in a press release.

According to the media release, the Bangladesh Bank has initiated the process of printing new series banknotes featuring designs inspired by the country’s historic and archaeological architecture across all denominations.

As part of this initiative, the new Tk100 banknote, signed by Bangladesh Bank Governor Ahsan H Mansur, will be released following the recent introduction of redesigned Tk1000, Tk50, and Tk20 notes.

Initially, the new Tk100 notes will be available from the Bangladesh Bank’s Motijheel office on 12 August, and will subsequently be distributed through other regional offices of the central bank.

The central bank also clarified that the newly designed Tk100 note will circulate alongside all existing paper notes and coins of the same denomination.

Considering the interests of currency collectors, the Bangladesh Bank has printed non-negotiable specimen notes of the Tk100 denomination.

Interested individuals can collect these from the Currency Museum located in Mirpur.
